Getting to School

Information for Parents Bringing Students to School by Car

The road outside the main school gate on Pastures Hill is very dangerous. The speed limit is 30mph. Traffic moves very fast and, during the start and finish of school, it is very busy. We value our students’ safety and expect parents to do so, too.

If you, or a relative, drop off or collect a child from school, please make sure these rules are obeyed.

• DO NOT bring cars onto the school premises.

• DO NOT drop off or pick up your child on the opposite side of Pastures Hill from the school.

• DO NOT perform a U-turn in the school entrance or anywhere on Pastures Hill.

• DO NOT park on the yellow zigzag lines on either side of the school entrance.

• If travelling down Pastures Hill, from the direction of Littleover Village, drive past the school entrance and turn round at the first Heatherton roundabout, to drop your child safely on the correct side of the road, well away from the entrance to the school.

• Ensure that your child only crosses Pastures Hill at the light controlled crossing by Swanmore Road.

  The safety of all our students MUST be our first priority.
