School has been contacted by a member of the public in relation to an incident of dangerous driving which took place on Thursday 19 September; following collection of pupils at the end of day at approximately 3.35pm.
We were informed that an uber registered vehicle did a U-turn on Netherby Drive, and then proceeded to mount the pavement where children and parents were walking home. Furthermore another vehicle followed the same manoeuvre and did the exact same thing, mounting the pavement on turning the vehicle.
We were also particularly saddened to hear that the children who had entered the vehicle were also shouting out of the window in a rude and arrogant manner when the driver was confronted about this.
Whilst car parking and how members of the public drive is outside of school's jurisdiction, the safety of our pupils and parents is of paramount importance to us and should feel safe approaching and leaving the school building.
I can assure you that the police have been notified of this incident and have details of the car/s involved and any further incidents will be reported to the policy and local authority. There will also be patrol cars in the area at the start and end of day collections.
Thank you to those of you who continue to park in a respectful and considerate manner, and we would ask that if you do witness any dangerous driving and/or parking this is reported directly to the police and local authority.
