Some KS2 children attend Bus Club and will wait in Library to be collected and taken to the JCG bus area. Some parents make use of the Admin Car Park Pick Up System. Their children make their way to the school foyer where members of staff meet them and wait for collection by their parent. |
Special Arrangements for Collecting Children
Please notify your child’s Class Teacher before school if someone different is collecting your child from school or the mode of collection changes. Please endeavour to do this as early as possible, school is a busy place and taking and passing these messages onto children and staff detracts us from our core purpose.
Other End of Day Arrangements
We have closely looked at the options at drop off and pick up times at the start and the end of the day due to heavy congestion in the car park and surrounding areas. Whilst, as a school, we have an Island-wide catchment and a number of families may not necessarily be on a main bus route, we would like to encourage you, as parents, to consider some possible alternatives to using the car park at JCG.
For all children:
- Admin Car Park Pick Up Drop Off System: https://jcp.sch.je/pages/parent/pick-drop
For Key Stage 2 aged children:
- Bus Club: Children are supervised here until about 15:30 when they are escorted across to JCG where we make sure they get on the correct bus. You would need to ‘register’ with us for this option via the parent portal on the school website and buy a bus pass from the bus station. https://jcp.sch.je/pages/parent/bus-club. Please note the buses are not suitable to take younger children (Rec/Key Stage 1).
- Meeting a sibling/friend at VCP*: How about meeting up with a brother/friend at VCP. KS2 children could walk down to VCP straight after school, without having to cross a road.
- Arrange to meet at an alternate place/collection point*: Probably for the more confident children. You can decide where is an appropriate place to meet your child.
If you would like to try any of these alternatives as a regular arrangement and alternative to using the car park over at JCG, please make sure that your child(ren) are really confident in what to do/where to go.
* We do ask that you let your teacher know by email if you decide on options 2 or 3 so there is a record of what your child is doing. Please only let us know of any changes on the day if absolutely necessary.
Due to Safeguarding regulations and in order to comply with the JCG Risk Assessment, pupils are not allowed to access the JCG carpark unaccompanied. Primary School children MUST be accompanied by an adult at all times.
