During the month of December, schools hold a variety of plays and events that parents and guardians attend. This can lead to an increase in traffic around the school, during these events.
This is a wonderful time of year, especially for first schools. Northumberland County Council would like to remind drivers to park responsibly for any events the school is holding this December. The objective is to keep the area safe around our school for children, parents, residents and the wider community. ... See MoreSee Less

Mrs Jacobs continues to liaise with the Highways and Transport Team at NCC to try and solve this issue. One of the strategies they suggested was that we share the information on this post. If anyone would like to arrange an appointment to further discuss the actions put in place already, please telephone the school office to arrange.
Anchor Inn Whittonstall Whittonstall Community Group could you share please
Where are you expecting parents/guardians to park that won't impact residents. Wishing a problem away doesn’t change anything. The parking around your school is chaotic and dangerous because you don't provide adequate parking. Most children are dropped off by car. Thankfully, there haven't been any accidents so far but residents have had plenty of bumped and scraped cars as a result of the mess. It's the school's problem to sort out.
