Drop-off and collection
At the beginning of the school day parents are encouraged to bring their children into the school playground, accompany them to their line and then leave.
At the end of the day parents are asked to wait on the school playground and then staff will dismiss your child to you. If normal collection arrangements have to be altered please let the School Office know.
Getting to school
For those families that live in Stanford in the Vale, walking, scooting or cycling to school is definitely the best option! There are lots of benefits: healthier than travelling by car; it improves the safety of pedestrians and road-users, and it respects nearby residents and parking regulations. If you do need to travel by car please park in the Village Hall car park and stride from there. Thank you for your cooperation.
