School drop off/pick up

When dropping off/picking up your child, we ask that you are mindful of our neighbours. The car park for Harry Piggot Court (the care home opposite the academy) should not be used as a drop-off/turning space. Access is required for emergency vehicles at all times.

Please also be aware there is a 20mph speed limit on Plant Hill Road. This is in place to ensure the safety of our students and local care home residents.
