Parking Outside of School
A gentle reminder to all
parents/carers/family and friends that
cars should not be parked on the pavement
or double yellow lines outside the school
gates as this creates a road safety hazard
for all accessing the school grounds.
Cars are not permitted in the school grounds
between 8:30 and 9:10 and 2:45 and
3:15 to ensure safe access for all
pedestrians and easy access for Lochies
transport, staff vehicles. We would also
like to remind you that in the interests of
health and safety, dogs are not permitted
within the school grounds. This issue is
discussed regularly at Parent Council who
are fully supportive of our guidelines on
this. Thank you in advance for your cooperation
and respect for the safety of
our children.
