Parking
As you know the parking available outside the school is owned by the Council and we have no jurisdicion over how many parking spaces are available or who is entitled to park there.
Our concern is only with the safety of the children and access to the school building for the emergency services, staff and school coach. We have introduced a scheme in conjunction with the local community police. The 3 strikes scheme aims to promote safe parking. If you see a vehicle parking inconsiderately or in the keep clear bays you can report them via an anonymous form and post in the box located in the school foyer.
