Carline Reminder
At the end of the school day, Reception and J1 children are collected from The Gables entrance at 3.30pm (please collect older siblings from the normal car line according to their time slot). Please park in the lower car park located off Fennyland Lane, which will usually be open from 3.00pm, and then walk up to the entrance.
For the collection of the children from Junior 2 to Junior 6 after school, we use a system of six carlines, whereby parents pull up in their cars around the roundabout in the car park and wait for their child to come out of school. Several members of staff oversee the dismissal of children at the end of the school day, and one will remain on duty until 4.10pm. If you are not here to collect your child by this time, they will be taken to After Care. The times for “car line” are as follows:
3.35pm - 1st car line – J2 with no older siblings in J3-J6)
3.45pm - 2nd car line - All other J2 children (with their siblings in J3-J6)
3.50pm - 3rd car line - Junior 3 (with their older siblings in J4-J6)
4.00pm - 4th car line – Junior 4 (with their older siblings in J5-J6)
4.05pm – 5th car line - Junior 5 (with their older siblings in J6)
4.10pm – 6th carline – Junior 6 only
We request that Nursery parents park off site if collecting their children between 3.30pm and 4.00pm to enable us to keep the car line moving smoothly.
Please adhere to these times as it helps keep car line flowing smoothly and prevents undue congestion in the neighbouring roads.
Please note it is essential that you inform us if your children are being picked up by someone who does not normally collect them, as this avoids confusion for the staff and ensures the safety of the children. If we have not received this notification, the person collecting your child will be asked to wait whilst we contact you to confirm the arrangement.
If you need to come into school at all at the end of the school day, please park in the lower car park, located off Fennyland Lane, which will usually be open between 3.00pm and 6.00pm (after school clubs permitting).
If your child is attending an after school club, please note that you will need to come into school and wait for them in the foyer at the finish time. During better weather all children attending after school sports club should be collected from the back door (car line door); we will notify you via the Chronicle when this come into effect. Any children who have not been collected 5 minutes after any club has finished will be sent to After Care.
