Safety

We want to make the school entrance as safe as possible for pedestrians. We have limited parking spaces and a hazardous entrance. We do not allow parking or 'pick up' from inside the school gates, parents are asked to park on the road outside.

The lay-by beside the playground gates may be used only for dropping off children in the mornings and cars should not be parked in it. All cyclists must dismount at the outer school gates. All children are expected to wear cycle helmets. Our office staff operate an electronic entrance system, where visitors sign in and out. Badges are worn by visitors on school business.

Pedestrian entry to the site is via the gates on Beresford Road or through the gates on the service road which are accessed by using the public pathway which runs alongside the school and the pedestrian crossing just inside the single gate.

 

Please do not walk through the double EXIT and ENTRY gates at the front of the school.  These are for vehicle access only.

 

We are also aware of children's safety in using the internet and we have 'ring fenced' access to protect our children from inappropriate material.
