Local traffic enforcement officers are often in the area and it is an offence to park on these marked areas. We also ask that you are all courteous and considerate of our local residents when dropping off and collecting children from school – please do not use residents’ drives for making u-turns or block access to their homes. We have been advised that while Oakland’s Nursing Home is being demolished over the next few weeks, disruption will be kept to a minimum, however please be extra vigilant during this time.
A small number of parents are putting lives at risk by parking on the zig-zag lines. This is always a case of convenience for the adult being placed above the safety of the child. Whatever your reason, please stop yourself from parking on the zig-zag lines and help keep our children safe.

Message from a teacher, 16th Nov 2018: Unfortunately, the car parking outside of school in the morning does not seem to be improving. Sometimes cars block the school gates or cars parked on either side of Oakland Road block the view of Forest Road which makes it increasingly dangerous to turn into Forest Road.

Message from the Head Teacher, 12th Oct 2018: I appreciate that we lead busy lives but please arrive in plenty of time and park away from the school. This week, I heard about a blind person who was forced to walk in the road and was at risk because our parents were parked partly on the pavement.
