Car Parking

Dear Parents,


I am writing once again to ask parents who bring their children to school by car, to park with consideration for the people who live beside our school. I have been informed that one of the local residents is taking photographs of cars which are parked illegally, these will be passed on to the police. We have good relationships with our neighbours, so please park respectfully
