School gates opening times

We really appreciate the feedback we have had over the new drop off & collection arrangements which is required to keep the children safe around the school grounds.  There are however some concerns with the amount of parents and children queuing down the pedestrian area.  School gates open at 8:50am and will remain open until 9.00am.  Children will not receive a late mark until arriving after 9.00am.
Nursery children will start at 9.00am so that parents with children in different classes will not have to wait to hand over each child.
We would still ask that nobody drives up Tower View apart from those with permission to park due to mobility issues so that we can keep all the children safe.
We are grateful of your support as we try our upmost to safeguard your children.
