Drop-Off and Pick-Up

The Car Park Volunteers have been working diligently to create a guidance for parents dropping and picking their children from the Madressa. Click here to view the Traffic Guidance with clear updates on Parent Drop-Off and Pick-Up.

Drop-Off

‘Left Gate’ past Reception:

Reception – Year 2: Your child must line up outside under the covered area where teachers will then escort them to their classrooms. Generally there are signs for each class and the class teacher will wait for children up until the bell rings at 10am.

Year 4+ Girls: Students can make their way to their classrooms from 9:50-9.55am onwards.

‘Right Gate’ next to the Sports Hall:

Year 3 Boys & Girls: Class 3 boys & girls will use this entrance and teachers will then escort them to their classrooms. Generally there are signs for each class and as noted above, class teachers will wait for children up until the bell rings at 10am before escorting them all up to class.

Year 4+ Boys: Boys can make their way to their classrooms from 9:50-9.55am onwards.
