Journey to school

Healthy journeys

The school follows the local authority's guidance in supporting healthy journeys to school. As well as safe pedestrian access routes, using pedestrian crossings installed when the school was built, we have two large cycle/scooter sheds to facilitate those means of access.

We encourage, wherever possible, families to access the school site by walking, cycling or scootering.

Drop-off zone

The Drop-off Zone, as the name indicates, is for the quick dropping-off of pupils (junior only) who can then access the school playgrounds independently – it is NOT a place where cars should be left unattended (i.e. parked). If you are the parent/carer of children younger than Year 3, please do not use the zone for them.

If using the zone, please approach it having gone round the internal roundabout, such that your car comes to rest (briefly) facing away from the school building – ignoring this guidance poses a risk when leaving the space against the flow of traffic.

Car park permits

Car Park permits can be applied for if pupils and/or family members have mobility or other issues which require ready access to the school building, either on a temporary or permanent basis. These permits must always be displayed on car dashboards when parking here, and the registration numbers of those cars parked will be checked on an ongoing basis to deter abuse.

Parking in the area

The nearest parking has been kindly offered by the management of The Rake and Pikel pub, opposite the main school entrance. We are very grateful to them for their kindness.
