Dear Parents and Carers
Parking
We are, once again, receiving complaints from residents who live around the school about the inconsiderate parking by some of our parents.
We must remind you that you must not park:
- On driveways of any house that is not your own
- Across driveways
- On the yellow zig zag lines by the school entrances
- On the white H bars unless you have a valid disabled parking permit
- On the pavement
