At Christ Church & St Peter’s C of E Primary School, the safety of our pupils, families, and staff is our highest priority. In line with a recent site and risk assessment, we have made important changes to vehicle access on the school premises.

Car Park Closure – 8:00am to 4:00pm

Please note that the school car park will be closed to all non-staff vehicles between 8:00am and 4:00pm. This measure is especially important for families using the Superstars Activity Club, as arrival and departure times overlap with high levels of on-site traffic.

Due to:

• Staff arrivals,

• Taxi congestion,

• Limited turning space within the car park,

It has become essential to restrict vehicle access during these hours in order to maintain a safe and secure school environment.

Important Reminders

• Do not enter the school car park at any time between 8:00am and 4:00pm.

• The pedestrian gate will remain open during this time for walking access.

• Please do not park on the track next to the car park, as this is private property and not owned or managed by the school.

• For added safety, the pedestrian pathway will be coned off until 8:30am, or until school taxis have departed.

Working Together for Safer School Access

We are currently working with our local councillor and community members to address ongoing concerns about road safety near the school. A petition to improve safety outside the school will be launched soon—please keep an eye out and support this important initiative.

Thank you for your cooperation and for helping us keep our school community safe.
