Car Parking Issues

As parents, carers and educators the safety and security of our children is absolutely our first priority.

Sadly, this week I have been approached by a parent about cars still reversing into drives, performing U turns and generally manoeuvring very dangerously in Ambleside Close when children and their parents are walking on the pavement to school.

In addition to this the school has been approached by very worried library staff who have been verbally abused by parents when they have asked parents to watch out for their children who have been left to run free in the car park.

Common sense clearly needs to prevail here. Nothing is more important than a child’s life, not a meeting, an appointment, a gymclass – nothing.

There is absolutely no excuse to drive dangerously as there is also absolutely no excuse to allow your children to run free in the car park.

For the safety and security of every child would you please stopand think before a child’s life is placed in danger.

Thank you
