Drop Off and Collections

At the start and end of the school day traffic flow and pedestrian activity around the school is particularly high.  We recognise there will be high volumes of traffic, although we encourage children to walk, cycle or car share to school if possible.  We are committed to keeping everyone safe during drop off and collection, and appreciate your co-operation with our systems.

Drop off:

When collecting and dropping off using a vehicle, we ask that you drive, park and turn considerately, taking care not to cause obstructions and keeping an eye out for pedestrians.  Children are the responsibility of parents whilst they are in the drop-off areas - before and after the school day.

Drop-off is between 8.40-8.55am.  (Both the Spiritual Garden gate and the parent/carer car park gate will be locked at 8.55am.)

Please note we are unable to allow parents onto the school site at drop off times and children are to be dropped off at the school gates.

Collection from class:

We require parents to complete an End of Day Procedure (EODP) form for each child when their child is enroled at St Modwen's.  This is a procedure to further ensure the safety of all children when leaving school at the end of the school day.  Parents should update their Arbor account to add any additional guardians who are authorised to collect their child.  Class teachers will only release children to an adult with consent to collect.   Children who usually walk home without an adult can do so only if permission has been given through ParentMail.  This is also required for children who walk home with older siblings.

  • All parents are asked to collect children from outside their classrooms.
  • Where there are two or more children in one family, parents should go to the class of their youngest child first.

Collection from classrooms will be at the following times:

EYFS/Key Stage 1 - 3.20pm

Key Stage 2 - 3.30pm
