Posted on: 28/11/2024Car Parking at Our Lady of Grace SchoolI have to express my concern and disappointment which is sadly directed at a handful of parents who continually show a lack of regard for our children and our local community with their inconsiderate/dangerous driving and parking. The school has received complaints from parents one of which I am sharing with you all to highlight the severity of the irresponsible behaviour of some parents. 'No children could cross the road, it was extremely dangerous.'. 'We all had to step out into the main road'. 'Cars are parking on the pavement'. The Governing Body of the school will be wholly supportive to our local residents in securing fines against those parents who are verbally abusive or who block driveways at drop off and pick up times. Please see letter that has been shared with parents and images of the parked cars. Parking Letter Sean Small Headteacher
