PLEASE:

Do walk to school whenever possible.

Do park and stride - park a few minutes away from school and walk, scoot or cycle the last part. 

Do follow the one-way system - at drop-off and pick-up times. Please drive clockwise to school. Go up Haynes Mead and down Bridle Way. This is marked on the Travel Map.

Do drive slowly – we are in a 30mph zone but 20 is plenty around a school. The school driveway is 5 mph. 

BUT PLEASE:

Don’t be a Road Monster – the children say it best – if you haven’t already seen it then PLEASE do watch the Road Monster video. 

Don’t park on the yellow zigzags or double yellow lines – they are there for a reason. Stopping for even the shortest time isn’t allowed. The police can fine you for parking here. 

Don’t park on both sides of the road - we need to leave plenty of space for emergency vehicles and buses so please only park on one side. On Bridle Way, please only park on the left as you go down the hill.

Don’t park on bends – especially the corner of Haynes Mead and Bridle Way. The visibility on that corner is really poor. Parking on the corner restricts visibility for other drivers and is breaking the Highway Code. 

Don’t park on the pavement or grass verges - this can stop pushchairs and wheelchairs (sometimes even pedestrians) getting past and damages grass verges maintained by our neighbours. 

Don’t block or cover residents’ driveways – if your car doesn’t fit in the space, please do not park there.

Don’t drive into the school car park between 07:45 and 16:30 - (unless you have a permit and school have given permission for you to enter the car park).
