Car Parking

Car parking is available from 8.00am-9.00am and 2.45pm-4.00pm each day and also after 5.00pm for those parents whose children are attending After-School Care.

The car parking facility is essentially for the parents of boys in the Reception class and for those parents who need, on occasion, to come into school at the start or end of the day. For ordinary drop-off arrangements please use the drop-off zone situated just below the zig-zag lines outside of school. Please park on Edge Hill, if you can, at the end of the day.

The time limits above must be strictly adhered to. Any parents arriving outside these times must not attempt to park in the playground and any parents who are parked must leave promptly at 9.00am or 4.00pm.

Cars MUST enter the school premises with extreme caution, observing a strict speed limit of 5mph.

10-minute waiting permits are available for parents of boys from the Reception Class through to Year 3 (LP1). Merton Council have informed us that only parents in those years are eligible. These permits can be collected from the school office, kept in your car and displayed on the dashboard when in use.

The Drop Off Zone on Edge Hill will operate from 8.15am – 8.45am. The Drop Off Zone is situated just below the zig-zag lines on the Donhead side of Edge Hill.

Please note the following rules:

1. Please approach the Zone by driving UP Edge Hill.

2. Boys should be ready to leave the car immediately and parents should leave the zone promptly to prevent queues building up and blocking Edge Hill.

3. Parents should not exit their cars for any reason. Sports bags, etc should be with the child in the car, in preparation for a quick exit.

4. There have been occasions in the past when there have been altercations between parents dropping off and the volunteers supervising the Zone. Please remember that the parents manning the Drop Off Zone are giving up their time, voluntarily, to run this service. When a request is made of you, the supervisor is simply following the health and safety guidelines that we have laid down. It is necessary, therefore, that you comply with all instructions promptly and without fuss.

5. Number plates of those parents not adhering to these rules will be logged. Parents must not stop on the zig-zag lines and must not park or wait in the Drop Off Zone. We may have to contact a parent directly should they continually ignore this instruction, thereby threatening the health and safety of other people arriving at the school.

6. Wimbledon College will be informed of the arrangements and offending number plates will be sent over to the College.

If we all follow the rules, the Drop Off Zone will run smoothly and continue to provide a valuable and convenient service to parents.

The Drop Off Zone is kindly run by Mrs Jacqui Grogan and any offer of help would be greatly appreciated. Please contact Mrs Grogan on 07984 434992.

We are very grateful to all our parents who give up their time to run this invaluable service.
