Following discussion with Health and Safety colleagues, at today’s pick up all children will leave the school grounds at the cycle track gate. This is a large double gate where the pavement is wider on the Eastwood side and closer to the crossing.

This should make it easier for those waiting at Eastwood High School to see their children leaving the school grounds. Staff will escort the children safely towards the crossing.

This will reduce the number of parents/carers waiting on the narrow pavement, as only children going in this direction will leave to the Patterton side of the cycle track gate.

P1 and P2 children and parents who are heading in the Patterton direction may use the zebra crossing in the school grounds to leave.

School staff will of course be there to help ensure children’s safety. We respectfully request that you do not arrive too early to collect to avoid congestion.

Please note that children will leave in the following order:

3pm- P7 then P5 (P2 collect at the door)

3:15pm P6, P4, P3/4 then P3 (P1 collect at the door)

Thank you for your ongoing support.

Kind regards,

Mrs McGuigan
