Car Parking

Parking at Borras Park Community Primary School   

Cars belonging to parents/ carers are not allowed beyond the barrier of the staff car park.  Yellow lines are painted on the roadway and on the corner of Cherry Hill drive indicating a no parking area.  We ask for your co-operation in not obstructing this busy road or any driveways belonging to the school neighbours.  It is illegal to stop on the yellow zig-zags.

Vehicle drop off for Breakfast Club

To reduce the number of vehicles at the narrow route at the front of school, Parents of children in Year 4 and above are asked to use the STOP-DROP-GO bays for Breakfast Club before 8:30am.  The children can then walk themselves round to the Breakfast Club door independently using the zebra crossings and pavements.  Parents of younger children using Breakfast Club can access the front car park area for a closer drop off.  Breakfast Club is not accessible after 8:30am.

Vehicle parking to drop off after 8:30am

The only vehicles belonging to parents / carers after 8:30am that may access the site to park are:

  1. Local Authority Taxis transporting our pupils
  2. Parents/ carers with Blue Badges relating to a child with mobility difficulties or additional learning needs
  3. Parents/ carers owning a Blue Badge for their own needs NB: It must be the Blue Badge owner themselves that is leaving the vehicle to do the drop off. If the Blue Badge owner is the driver / passenger and another person is leaving the vehicle to do the drop off, then please park off site.

Vehicles using the “STOP – DROP – GO” laybys for dropping off

These special bays are NOT parking bays! (unless you have a Blue Badge as explained above).

Enter the site towards the round-about, stopping at zebra crossings to let pedestrians cross.  Go around the round-about and find a vacant STOP – DROP – GO space.  STOP your vehicle, let your child/ren out and guide them to the paved island at the front of your vehicle.  DROP your child off to navigate to the closest zebra crossing to enter the school site independently.  Once your child is on their way the parent/ carer can GO safely on their way.  Please do not stay longer than needed as it causes congestion.  Please take extra care when reversing out of your space.

Please be patient and do NOT unload on the double yellow lines before the round-about.

Unless you own a Blue Badge or you have special authorisation to do so from the Management, please do not enter the school car park area between the hours of 8.30am and 3.30pm. Vehicles must not be brought onto site when dropping children off or picking children up, unless the child is ill and it is outside normal collection time.

 

Vehicle access on site for home-time pick up

This is far simpler.  No access for any vehicles for home-time pick up unless they are:

  1. Local Authority Taxis transporting our pupils
  2. Parents/ carers with Blue Badges relating to a child with mobility difficulties or additional learning needs
  3. Parents/ carers owning a Blue Badge for their own needs NB: It must be the Blue Badge owner themselves that is leaving the vehicle to do the drop off. If the Blue Badge owner is the driver / passenger and another person is leaving the vehicle to do the drop off, then please park off site.
  4. Blue Badges can use the ‘STOP – DROP – GO’ bays to park in at home-time as we do not have enough disabled bays to meet the demand.

Any vehicle pick-ups after 3:30pm

We allow on-site pick-ups for the Full Day Care’s After School Club.  Please use the front of the school near the Main Entrance to do this if there is room.  Otherwise, park somewhere else on site and do not use the disabled bays without a Blue Badge.

We allow on-site pick-ups to collect children that have been doing one of our after school clubs; such as football, cricket, craft, rugby etc.

Pedestrian Access

If you are walking to school, you are requested not to bring your child through any of the car park areas.

Please do not cross the road opposite Cherry Hill Drive to get to the path to school. You must walk to Carole the Lollipop Lady and cross safely. You can then enter the school towards the Main Entrance, turn left and make your way around the site. To avoid using the pavement running across the car park entry gate, please use the safer footpath that leads around the edge of the staff car park to the rear of school.v

We always encourage pupils to walk to school or to come by bike and we urge you to encourage this where possible to minimise parking problems but more importantly to protect the environment for your children and hopefully your children's children. 

Thank you for your support.

Be Kind,Be Respectful,Be Your Best
