PARENTS’ PARKING PROMISE
Parking too near to school entrances puts children in danger!
The area outside our school is busy in the morning and at the end of the school day. Parents who park close to entrances act irresponsibly, potentially placing children in danger. The ‘School Keep Clear’ Zig Zags should maintain an area free from parked cars. This allows children and parents walking in and out of school to cross safely, where they can see and be seen by approaching traffic.
Using the car less would help reduce the congestion and danger
Many children are driven to school when they could easily walk part or all of the way. Walking has various benefits. It:-
- Helps keep children fit and healthy.
- Develops traffic awareness skills.
- Keeps the environment cleaner.
- Reduces traffic outside school at starting and finishing times.
- Park on the 'School keep clear' zig zags
- Park on the pavements or grass verges surrounding the school
- Park in the school staff car park
