UPDATED: Staggered Drop Off & Collection Times

19th Sep 2025


A BIG THANK YOU to everyone for following the staggered drop off & collection times - as you can see it really does help to keep the car park safe.  From Monday 22nd September the collection times are increasing again: Group 1: 11.20 until 11.30 & Group 2: 11.30-11.40.  We also are aiming to confirm the dinner groups starting over the next two weeks by Wednesday. 

This week went very smoothly & as we only have 19 parking spaces for the 26 cars in each drop off or collection group please ensure you stick to your selected time slot.  

IT WILL BE VERY BUSY IN THE CAR PARK SO PLEASE:

  • ENSURE THE INNER BLUE DOOR IS CLOSED WHEN LEAVING 
  • DRIVE VERY VERY SLOWLY (THINK 3 & 4 YEAR OLDS MOVING QUICKLY))
  • PARK WITHIN THE LINES
  • REMEMBER ADDITIONAL PARKING IN THE CHAPEL CAR PARK
  • HOLD YOUR CHILD'S HAND
  • USE THE FOOT PATH (PLEASE DO NOT WALK DOWN THROUGH THE CAR PARK)
  • DONT GATHER TO CHAT IN THE CAR PARK AS THE AIM IS TO REDUCE PRESSURE ON THE CAR PARK & FOLLY LANE
