Dear Parents/Carers,

We would like to take this opportunity to remind our school community about safer driving and parking as we have received a number of complaints.

We know that most people do want to do the right thing and drive safely and responsibly. We therefore request that you adhere to the following when parking, dropping off or collecting children from school:

• Keep the School ‘Keep Clear’ marking (zig-zags), yellow lines and the school entrance clear at all times
• Ensure pavements, driveways and pedestrian access points are not blocked
• Ensure emergency vehicles would be able to get past if needed
• Do not park opposite or within 10 metres of a junction
• Turn off your engine when parked – engines left idling contribute to air pollution
• Behave in a manner than is respectful towards others – including pedestrians and local residents
• Park further away from school if at all possible

Drivers committing offences place themselves at risk of being prosecuted/ issued with tickets by council wardens and or the police, we regularly request the CCTV vehicle from Nottinghamshire County Council to monitor parking around our school. Inconsiderate and dangerous parking outside schools puts lives at risk.

Please help us to keep our school community safe and make the school run less stressful and far safer for everyone.

Best wishes,

The School Office Team
