ROAD SAFETY for Drop-Off and Pick-Up

Let’s work together to keep our children safe.

Every child deserves a safe journey to and from school. By driving responsibly, you help reduce congestion, improve safety, and protect the environment around your school.

Guidelines for parents:
Please follow these simple steps to make school drop-off and pick-up safer for everyone:

• Only drive to school when necessary and walk or cycle part of the journey whenever possible.
• Never allow your child to exit the vehicle onto the road where they could be exposed to traffic and other dangers.
• Do not make U-turns near school gates or crossings as they put children at serious risk.
• Never park on school zigzag lines or double yellow lines.
• Do not block driveways, pavements, or resident bays.
• Avoid leaving your engine running while parked.
• Keep to the speed limit and drive slowly near the school.
• Always watch out for children walking, scooting, or cycling.
• Set a good example for your child and others.
