Safer drop-off and collection at Copthall School

To all Copthall families,

Your daughter’s support and safety is one of our core school values. Thank you for your cooperation in ensuring their safety at drop-off and collection times.

The Page Street entrance is an on-foot only route open for pupils between 7.45-8.55am (although pupils arriving after 8.35 will be marked late) and between 3.10-3.30pm each school day.

Pupil arrivals and collections outside these hours must be via the visitor reception on Pursley Road.

DO NOT drop-off or collect near the Page Street gate red exclusion zone (see letter).

Please act safely and responsibly at all times; please consider parking further away so your daughter can walk to and from school. Avoid parking over our neighbours’ driveways and please do not perform a three point turn in Page Street as congestion causes accidents too.

We have been informed that traffic police will monitor and may issue fines. If you need to arrange for someone else to drop-off or collect your daughter(s) including taxis, please ensure they also follow our procedures.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation. Last year, TfL increased the frequency of the local 221 bus which many of our students use.

On behalf of all pupils, staff, our neighbours, and the Barnet Safer Neighbourhood and Police teams, thank you very much.
