School traffic arrangements- In order to prevent an accident waiting to happen please help in making the new traffic arrangements in the church yard work.
· The car park next to the Basketball Court is Staff parking only. You are welcome to use spaces for drop-off but not for parking. There is also a footpath which leads directly to the school from the roadway which your child can use safely.
· Church yard parking – Could we ask that as you enter the church gate you veer to your left and drop your child/children off at the footpath without delay, continue up the Church yard turning right in front of the bollards and exiting at the rear.If you wish to accompany your child in to the school, please find a parking space and do not park against the footpath provided for ‘drop and go’ or obstruct the drive-through.To enable children walk safely from the right hand side of the church to the school, bollards have been placed at the edge of the cobble stones close to the front of the church and that path leads straight to the school gate.
CHILDREN NEED TO BE ACCOMPANIED DIRECTLY TO THE FOOTPATH OR COBBLESTONE WALKWAY AND SHOULD AVOID CROSSING THROUGH TRAFFIC. The same traffic procedures should follow during the school day.
This is experiment to maximize your child’s safety as they approach and leave the school. If you have any suggestions to improve this system please share them with me. I thank you once again most sincerely for your co-operation in all matters.
Mary A. Cawley, Principal.
