I am writing to remind parents and carers of the importance of driving and parking safely at both our Rockwood gate entrance and front entrance.

We must all keep our students safe as they come and go. We must also be mindful that our busy times impact our neighbours. 

It would be very helpful if you would drop and pick up students further away from the both gates; Woodhall Lane or Pudsey Civic Hall are both a short walk away and much less congested.

Front Entrance / The Ring Road

• Please avoid dropping off and collecting students by car at the front entrance. We have a small number of students who need to be dropped off and collected at this entrance, and would ask everyone else not to use it, to avoid congestion. We simply do not have space on site for extra cars.

• Always turn left out of the entrance. It is illegal to turn right. There are cameras, and fines are issued.

Rockwoods Entrance

It is vital we help to keep traffic flowing - at a safe speed – and that when dropping off or waiting, vehicles do not block residents’ driveways.

• Road markings have been made on the street, which help ensure traffic can flow freely: please respect these and do not park or wait where there are yellow lines. 

• There is an informal ‘one way’ system whereby drivers follow an anticlockwise circuit around Rockwood Road and Rockwood Crescent – this enables the traffic to keep moving and you will find it much easier and quicker than going against the flow.

We will continue to work with the local Police and Traffic Enforcement Officers to ensure that both entrances to our site remain safe for all of our students.

Thank you for your continued support.
