Dear Parent/Carer,

Our school is soon launching the Parking Pledge!

We are wishing to make the area around the school gate at pick up and drop off times much safer. Our school has agreed on the following promises that we would like your family to commit to us and our school community.

REMEMBER - our family will always park sensibly, and never on ‘school keep clear’ zig zag lines or opposite a junction, in a bus bay, or on double yellow lines.

REMEMBER - to give the school crossing patrol (Lollipop Person) more space so they can cross the children safely and help improve visibility.

Our family will respect our community residents by not parking over driveways, on pavements or verges.

Our family will always take care when driving in the school vicinity, drive slowly and look out for families travelling to school by foot or bike.

Our family will always ‘park and stride’ to school where possible when driving the car, which will help our children practise their road safety skills.

THINK - Does our family need to drive every day, or could we travel by foot, bike or scooter or bus one day a week?

By making the above pledges, your family will be supporting our commitment to reducing congestion around the school gates, improving road safety and supporting our ‘Wow Walk to School Challenge’ which aims to encourage children to actively arrive to school. Please help us raise awareness to support our campaign and challenge.

MAKING a DIFFERENCE in the COMMUNITY for the SAFETY of ALL!
