  • Parking-We have had several complaints and concerns from local residents and also St James community, about the inconsiderate and dangerous parking from parents. A reminder that you are not allowed to drive into school at any time, as this causes a hazard and danger to children. Parents are parking in front of residents driveways, blocking their roads, and residents are understandably upset. If we have complaints from residents we are encouraging them to report any incidents to the Police. Whenever possible walk, scoot, cycle to school.
