We have instructed the pupils to use the appropriate markings and road crossings. 1. Parents and visitors must park their car in a designated car parking bay. 2. The disabled parking spaces must be left clear for the parents and visitors who need to use them. 3. Pupils, parents and visitors must use to the zebra crossings and the yellow marked designated pathways to reach their vehicle or the school. 4. When arriving or leaving school, pupils will be acting in an orderly manner and follow the instructions of the staff on duty. 5. Pupils travelling in a taxi or parents’ vehicles should wait at the gate, next to the Food Technology room, until they see the vehicle they are going home in has parked up in a bay. 6. Pupils are regularly reminded that they do not go home with anyone who is unauthorised to collect them. 7. Pupils who have not been collected by 3.40p.m. should report to the closest member of staff on duty who will send them to the office to try and make contact with their lift, unless prior arrangements have been made for a later pick up. 8. The staff car park is designated for staff cars only and any working visitors to the school on the day.
