Campus Traffic Safety - Reminder

Traffic on site

The College takes the safety of pupils, staff and visitors very seriously and we have taken various measures to minimise the risk of an accident involving a vehicle. Please take care when driving on campus particularly at busy times such as the start and end of the school day.

Improving safety

Adhere strictly to the speed limits and instructions given by College staff
Never hold or use a mobile phone whilst driving
Park in designated areas and never on double yellow lines
Stop for pedestrians wishing to cross at designated crossing points
Ensure that pupils only exit or enter cars when safely parked in designated areas
Music should be kept to a minimum level
Be patient, kind and courteous

Everyday traffic

Pupils arriving to school at the normal time can be dropped off in the area adjacent to the pupils’ entrance. Please note, this is for quick drop-offs only. Should you need more time or have to wait, please use the main playground area instead.
The playground is closed to traffic from 9.00am to 3.30pm. Parents arriving within this period are asked to park in the ‘Short Stay’ parking (yellow hatched area between Reception and the Roundhouse) and go to Reception or the Student Hub.
If you are collecting your child at the end of the day, please avoid arriving before 3.00pm. If you are queueing, please keep yellow hatched areas by the main gates clear to enable our Estates Team or Emergency vehicles access.
Sixth Form parking is available only to those issued with permits. A designated Sixth Form car park has been provided next to the sports field. Permit holders must park in their designated space as issued by Mr Collie.
Should you require access to the Student Hub, please park in the Short Stay parking area next to Goods In and follow the pedestrian Theatre Entrance sign.

Polite reminders

Parking on site is very restricted. If you are wishing to attend the College to watch sport, please use visitor, short stay or overflow parking however, we cannot guarantee this will always be available.
We encourage drivers to turn off their engines whilst waiting to reduce pollution.
The whole site is non-smoking/vaping and dogs must be kept on leads.
