As Baring Road becomes very congested at drop off and pick up points we ask that you keep to the designated gates to reduce traffic at the top of the road. If you are collecting children from both Key Stage One and Key Stage Two at the end of the day, then you may collect both children from the Key Stage One playground at the times above (please let your child’s class teacher know if this is something you would like to do). If in doubt, there will always be a member of staff on the gate to help you.
