Sixth Form car park safety

Natalie McGillivary

We would like to ask parents and carers for their help with a safety concern at the start of the school day.

A number of vehicles are turning around at the Sixth Form entrance and using the Sixth Form car park to drop off / park for students in the morning. This car park is quite small – with a large number of inexperienced drivers – and when extra cars come in, it quickly becomes congested and increasingly more difficult for students (both drivers and pedestrians) to navigate.

We therefore kindly ask that you do not:

  • turn into the Sixth Form entrance to drop off or collect
  • park or stop in the Sixth Form car park
  • drop off at the Sixth Form gates

Instead, please drop your child off on the road outside school, or a short distance away, where they can walk the final part of the journey safely. When stopping on the road, please park considerately and legally. Avoid blocking driveways, junctions or crossing points, and be mindful of our neighbours.

We know that mornings can be busy, and we are very grateful for your support with this. A few minutes’ extra walk makes a real difference to the safety of all our students and helps the start of the day run smoothly for everyone.

Understanding T’ Levels – Tuesday 20th October

Open Evening – Thursday 8th October

Natalie McGillivary
The Lymm High School Year 6 Open Evening is on Thursday 8th October and we very much look forward to seeing many of you there. Last year we had an unprecedented number of visitors which was brilliant but did cause some difficulties for local residents around school. Please can we therefore ask you to do the following if you are attending:
  • Please try to walk if you live locally, instead of driving when you visit us. We have very limited parking on site.
  • If our car parks are full and you choose to park on surrounding roads, please consider local residents and road traffic laws when doing so. Lymm village also has car parks you can access (check parking charges) which are only a short walk to school if you don’t live locally.
Many thanks for your understanding and we look forward to seeing you on Thursday.
