Travelling to school
Car parking is a concern at Priory School as it is a hazard for those who use the school. It is also a hazard for neighbours who live within the vicinity of the school. Drivers parking cars at the school, near it or dropping or collecting children at the school should at all times have consideration for the safety of pedestrians, other road users and the immediate community. In particular, the road markings near the school crossing should be observed at all times.
Visitors parking at the school should leave a note of their car registration number with the school office in case the car has to be moved etc.
There is regular contact with traffic police and the road safety officer who will talk to parents and children and provide leaflets and posters to display and send out.
Regular letters to parents emphasise the following:
- Care of our neighbours.
- Use of the crossing patrol instead of driving right up to school.
- Not parking on yellow lines, zig zag markings.
- Dropping children off at their gates then driving on to keep the traffic flow moving, rather than parking and waiting.
- Please observe the voluntary one-way system - up Barewell Road, St Catherine's Road and out through Priory Road.
- Any sporting events - children and staff to leave by 4.30 pm.
- Trips - we try to arrange coach time before or after 9.00 a.m., that is 8.30 a.m. or 9.20 a.m.
Personal contact with any adult who continually parks in an obstructive way (by Headteacher or Site Supervisor). All comments by parents or neighbours will be followed up.
