Travelling to school in September
Dropping off Students:
- In conjunction with West Yorkshire Police, we have been advised to inform parents/carers that it is crucial that students are dropped off or picked up from the GOALS turning circle at the beginning and end of the school day.
- If you are driving to the school, we would ask that you do not use Sutton Avenue to drop off or pick up or the main gate entrance as this will be dangerous for students walking to school. The only exceptions will be made in cases of disability or if you are a visitor to the school.
Site Security:
In the interests of child safety and protection:
- Every morning all gates, entrances and exits will be locked at 8.25am (except for the main entrance on Sutton Avenue which remains accessible to visitors via the intercom/security). Please ensure that your child gets to school in good time to be able to access the site and lessons.
- The Senior Leadership and Pastoral Teams welcome students every morning at the blue line as they arrive and we say goodbye every afternoon as students leave through the main, Goals and bottom gate exits. Please note only the front entrance is accessible during the school day.
- At the end of the school day entrances and exits will be opened at 2.30pm. Please note the bottom gate is locked again at 3.45 pm.
