Parking in the School Grounds We would like to remind all parents/carers that parking on the school premises is strictly for the staff and parents/carers with a disability, who have permission to do so. We would also ask parents/carers to continue to park with respect for local residents and pedestrians. The traffic car has been out and about both mornings and evenings and they will issue a fine to people parked inappropriately. We appreciate your support on this matter.
