Next Monday 6th March, Academy Photography are in school to take class group photos, year 6 leavers photos and Reception graduation photos.

Please can you ensure your child wears full school uniform (and, if relevant for your child, bring their PE kit or Forest School outfit in a separate bag).  Thank you.

We have just had another understandable complaint from a local resident about being regularly blocked in on their driveway by parents dropping off or collecting their children. This is unacceptable – as per section 243 the Highway Code, you must not park:

• Near a school entrance
• Anywhere you would prevent access for emergency services
• At or near a bus or tram stop or taxi rank
• Opposite or within 10 metres (32 feet) of a junction, except in an authorised parking space
• Near the brow or a hill or hump bridge
• Opposite (if this would cause an obstruction) another parked vehicle
• Where the kerb has been lowered to help wheelchair users and powered mobility vehicles
• In front of an entrance to a property
• On a bend
• Where you would obstruct cyclists’ use of cycle facilities except when forced to do so by stationary traffic

So, just another friendly reminder to parents who transport their child/ren to and from school by car to please:

• only park in official parking areas along the roads,
• be considerate to other parked cars (always ensuring you don’t block in anyone else’s parked car); and
• please don’t obstruct access to driveways.

Thank you.
