We are a busy school and it is important that our entire community plays a part in ensuring safe travel and parking in our local area. When members of our school community park their cars along restricted sections of The Gower, it leads to unrest amongst parents and local residents, as well as reducing safety and setting a bad example for our children.

If you have to drive to school in the mornings or afternoons, please remember that there are parking restrictions along The Gower which clearly states you should not be parking in the areas with double yellow lines at any time. It does not matter that you are just entering the school site just briefly to drop off/collect your child, or that it is raining and you wish to be closer to the school; the restrictions still apply to you. Choosing to park here and ignore the restrictions makes travelling outside the school more difficult, and more importantly, also makes the area more dangerous for those walking along pavements and crossing the road. All children must be brought to and from school, and no parents have more rights to park closer to our gates than others. It is crucial that all of our community park considerately, and legally, so that we can all be safe.

We would always encourage you to park further away from the school, i.e. on less crowded roads with no restrictions, and walk in. 

Where can I park?

Here is an interactive map of parking restrictions in Runnymede which you can look at to find out if a road has restrictions or not.

You can park:

• Using the car park at The Frank Muir Memorial Grounds
• In Fleetwood Way and The Gower (but not on restricted parts of the road)
• In places without restrictions, especially roads further away from the school, so that you can 'park and walk.' Roads for this include Mill Lane and the surrounding area

You should not park:

• On any double yellow lines
• Across anyone's driveway
• On a sharp bend particularly found on The Gower
• On The Bence, so we can keep this a pedestrian only area at drop off and collection times

Thank you for your continued support in this matter.
