Road Safety

I know this morning at drop off was very difficult because of the lorry that could not get through the lane. However we have become aware that traffic outside school at drop off and pick up recently has become more of an issue. We know that with winter drawing in and the weather being colder and wetter, more people are choosing to drop off as close to the school gates as possible.

We fully understand this but would ask that you drive slowly and carefully and make sure you look out for children. Also please can you avoid parking or stopping to drop off children on the yellow lines outside school. It is important that we keep these clear at all times.

Finally please can we ask that you do not leave your engine running if you are sat in your car. I have recently learned that you can actually be fined for doing this as the highway code states "You must not leave a vehicle’s engine running unnecessarily while that vehicle is stationary on a public road."

Thank you for your support with these bits and for helping to keep our children safe.
