Harpley:
Traffic congestion in School Lane is a problem at the beginning and end of the school day. In order to ensure the safety of the children and to maintain good relations with the local residents the School Travel Plan Committee have issued the following guidelines Guidelines for drivers
Park at the village Hall.
Or park at the Pub (School times only) and see children safely across the road or walk them to school.
Avoid parking by dropping pupils safely on the pavement on School Road side of Nethergate St allowing them to walk the short final part of the journey themselves.
Adhere to speed limits at all times.
Please consider that just because the sign says 30 it does not mean you have to drive that fast!
Be aware of children and adults cycling/walking to school and be vigilant throughout your whole journey.
Almost half our pupils travel from outside the village: Guidelines for pedestrians and cyclists –
Adults must supervise children below the age of 8 on their journey to school
Adults should keep all children close by at all times and ensure they stay on the pavement.
Ensure children travelling to school without an adult are aware of basic road safety.
Children cycling to school should wear a cycling helmet and use a roadworthy bike that is checked regularly. The school will always phone to clarify pupil absences if parents do not contact us; so you can be reassured that children travelling to school independently have arrived safely. We trust parents and carers will support this effort to ensure the safety of all children.
Great Massingham:

Park further into the main area of the village instead of outside the school. Please do not park on the verges around the pond near the school as this narrows the road and may prevent emergency vehicle access.
Adhere to speed limits at all times.
