🚗 Polite Parking Reminder

Just a gentle reminder that the school car park is available for use by parents, carers, staff and visitors between 8:00am and 4:00pm, Monday to Friday.

At present, parking arrangements are causing a safety concern for pupils and staff entering and leaving the school building. It is also making it difficult for school buses to safely turn within the car park.

We kindly ask everyone to please be mindful of this and help us keep the car park safe and accessible for all.

Thank you very much for your understanding, cooperation and continued support.
