Safety

Warlingham School have expressed their concerns of parents walking through the grounds after dropping pupils off at Hamsey Green.  Please note that as of the end of next week, the gates between the schools will shut at 8:30am and parents will need to walk via the rear gate if they wish to exit this way.  Please can we also remind you that parking is not permitted for parents on the Warlingham site.

Please can we remind parents of all children, that for safety reasons, pupils should not be allowed to play on the trim trail before and after school.

The vehicle gates are to be used for vehicles only.  For your own safety and the safety of the children, please use the pedestrian entrance/gate only.
