We welcome parents and visitors and always keep the safety of the children as a priority.  

We ask that you follow the guidelines below in order to:

• leave a safe, unobscured passage down one side of the road outside the school for children walking & cycling into school. 
• avoid making the road outside the school too narrow as it is a through road to Toot Baldon.  Farm vehicles, emergency services, residents, delivery vans and coaches all need to be able to easily access the road at all times.
• maintain good relations with our local community.

We ask that you please:

• Only park on the side of the green where the posts are placed in the ground. 
• Drive at a sensible speed, taking into account the presence of children. Especially as there are no pavements in Marsh Baldon village and some of the roads are very narrow.
• Do not reverse or turn in the school drive, the private road next to the pond, or in the entrance of any of the neighbouring houses - there is a turning place at the end of the lane if you continue past the school (see letter below)
• Do not drop off your children on the road or in a driveway.
• Do not park or drop off on the yellow markings outside the school.
• Only staff or visitors to the school can park on the grass outside the front of the school
• Children should be walked into and out of school by the adult dropping off or picking up; this will reinforce the importance of road safety

The village pond is just next to the school entrance and drive.  Although the water level can be very low in the summer months, it gets very deep in the winter so please supervise your children carefully

Please be very careful walking between your vehicle and the school, the ground is uneven and can be very slippy in wet or icy conditions.  Thank you for your support.
