Mrs P Barrett - Careers Coordinator

We are kindly asking for parents and carers to work with us, to make drop-off and pick-up times safer for our community. Please note:

• Robin Hood Gymnastics Club have received a number of complaints from members and neighbours regarding the misuse of parking spaces, during NFS drop-off and pick-up times by parents and carers. 
• Many parent/carer vehicles are being parked very awkwardly and unsafely, obstructing traffic flow.
• Some parents are exiting the one-way system incorrectly, posing risks to pedestrians (particularly the young children who walk to our club with their parents)

Please can all relevant parents and carers:

• Use Haydn Road parking spaces near the front our school, or consider parking further down Haydn Road.
• Do not use Robin Hood Gymnastics Club car park, which is dedicated for its business operations only. 

As ever, we are sincerely grateful for your help with this important health and safety issue.

Nottingham Free School

The show will take place on Tuesday 16th July and Wednesday 17th July at 6pm-8pm. We hope to see you there.
