Arrival
All visitors to the school should note that the main entrance is located on Parsonage Road (not Earl's Court Road), as is the pedestrian entrance for parents when dropping off and collecting pupils. Parents wishing to walk their child to class in the morning must arrive by 8:40am, after this time parents can drop children at the gate, this is to allow us to secure the school promptly at 8:45am as there should be no parents still on site at this time.
The school has a small car park available for staff and pre-approved visitors only. The car park is opened at the start and end of the school day to allow the transport service access to drop-off and collect pupils from the Resource Base. Please note that entry to the school car park stops at 8:40am.
Parents wishing to park close to the school are able to request a free parking permit from the school office. This enables free parking in Central car park between 8:30-9am and 3:00-3:30pm, helping to ease traffic congestion around the school. Parsonage Road parking is limited and priority given for local residents. Therefore, we kindly ask parents to walk where possible, or, to make use of the local car parks centrally and at Co-op and walk the final 1-2 minutes to school.
