Dear Families,
As you will be aware, the entry and exit road to our school and the overflow/drop off area have been a cause of concern for the school community for a number of years. Our increased role and the increased numbers of families travelling to school by car have added additional pressures to the existing problem.
I am writing to you today to reassure families that our school regularly liaise with Glasgow City Council to raise our concerns about the road and overflow/drop off area. We have also raised our concerns with Local Councillors. Some parents have independently contacted Local Councillors and our Parent Council will also be raising concerns this week, via letter to the local Councillors, on behalf of the parent/carer body. The school liaise regularly with Police Scotland. You may have observed an increased Police presence at the school this week as a result of multiple concerns about health and safety and numerous instances of obstruction and dangerous parking. The school and our Junior Road Safety Officers are also working with Glasgow City Council’s Road Traffic Education Team to raise awareness of the issues.
The road and overflow/drop off space is raised as something we need to improve on in any form of consultation with families. As a school we will continue to raise our concerns with Glasgow City Council but would like to reiterate that we have no control over the road space and are limited in terms of what we can do independently as a school. As such we would encourage families to raise concerns with their Local Councillors. Contact information for them can be found on Glasgow City Councils website. We would also like to encourage families to walk to school wherever possible and insist that cars are not parked on the zig zag lines. This is dangerous and causes an obstruction. Our school bus and taxis must be able to enter and exit the school grounds. Additionally, cars should not be abandoned on grass verges and the entrance to our school should never be blocked for health and safety reasons.
Whilst we fully understand the challenges and frustrations our families are experiencing in relation to drop off and pickup, we would also like to take this opportunity to remind everyone that our expectation at Wallacewell Primary is that all visitors, parents and carer respect the staff and children of Wallacewell, adhere to the Nurturing Principles and respect the rights of everyone. We will not tolerate abuse of any kind towards staff members. Any anti-social behaviour of this nature will be reported to Police Scotland.
We would like to thank you all for your support on this matter. We will keep you posted with any updates via our newsletters and website.
Yours
Miss L Davidson
Head Teacher
