Drop off and pick up

The safety of students is a priority at the College and some very dangerous practices have been occurring before and after school each day. Please do not drop your child off or wait for them for pick up in the administration carpark at the beginning and end of the school day. This carpark is only for Priory or school visitors. A resident from Treasure Road has informed the College that some parents are using their driveways for parking. Please be mindful that this is private property and they may contact the ranger if it continues.
