Parking Reminder: Use of Tower View
We would like to remind all parents and carers that Tower View must not be used for student drop-offs or collections, as this is a private road and access must be kept clear at all times.
We understand the importance of convenient access to the school, and appreciate your cooperation in helping us respect our neighbours and maintain safe access arrangements.
Please also note that holding a Blue Badge does not permit parking on private roads. For those who require accessible parking, designated spaces are available on the school site and should be used accordingly.
Thank you for your support and understanding.
