Transport

Accessing the school on the Broadwater Road

We strongly encourage students to come by sustainable transport.

The following is part of our agreed school travel plan for car pick up and drop off. As a school within our local community we need to manage this aspect of school life to minimise disruption to our neighbours.

Dropping off – the School gates open at 8 am.

Where possible parents are strongly encouraged to use a range of park and stride areas identified away from the school site and then their child walks the remaining journey. Suggested areas are listed below.

Please note that due to the nature of the access to Queen Street car park it is not a suitable place to drop off as two cars cannot get passed each other on the road.

Picking up – No students should be picked up from the front car park, exceptions are pre-arranged Taxis, day time medical appointments and pre-arranged medical / disability need.

Parents and students are instead directed to the park and stride locations indicated above and away from school site for pick up. The variety of these locations listed below allows parental drop off and pick up at designated safe places on the surrounding roads.

In order to safeguard the large volume of students arriving and departing from the back of the school site on foot / bike, we ask that parents refrain from picking up, waiting for or drop off their child at the back of the school. This is to avoid blocking the car park for residents and reduces congestion on Queen Street itself.
