Parking at Drop-off and Collection
We appreciate your continued cooperation in managing the drop-off and collection. Particularly in the afternoons, we’d kindly ask parents not to enter the housing estates and to be certain that the traffic is never blocked or any drives. Please also avoid parking in any way that blocks the paths. Thanks!
