PARENTS INFORMATION
School Tours
We really encourage all potential applicants to visit the school. You cannot capture the “feel” and amazing culture at Pembroke Park in writing. School tours can be booked by emailing 2 or 3 days/times you are available to admin@pembrokeparkprimary.net and a member of the leadership team will get you booked in for one of these times where diaries allow. Please take a look at our Facebook page to see recent events and activities within the school.
School Day
Top gates open at 8,40am. Registration is at 8.50am and your child is expected to be in their class by this time. Our school day ends at 3.30pm. Top gates open at 3.20pm to allow you time to walk down for collection..
Year 5 and Year 6 may walk to and from school with written permission from a parent. All younger children must be escorted on and off-site by a sensible adult or older sibling.
Parking permits are limited to those with a blue badge or disability/medical need only. Please see the school office for an application form. We keep permits to a minimum in order to keep everyone on site safe and to reduce emissions. We encourage everyone who can to walk, scooter or cycle to school. Please do not obstruct driveways of our local community if you drive to school.
