Kendrick School - how late can parents collect children from school

[Chapter]

I know that there are after school activies. However, how late can children wait at school for parents to collect them on way home from work?

[BackforGood]

erm - I have no idea about this particular school.
Do you mean after school club?
Why don't you ask them, if it doesn't say on the contract ?

Aren't girls encouraged to use public transport?

[CarrotsAreNotTheOnlyVegetables]

Yes, agree that secondary school pupils really do not need to be ferried to and from school., and should be able to cope with letting themselves in with their own key and being in the house alone for a short time.

So you should not have an issue really.

The school used to make a point of emphasizing use of public transport - I don't know if they still do. There is no parking outside the school and little opportunity even to pull up for a few minutes; traffic wardens know when school finishes. Yes, you can get DD to walk up to Kendrick Rd where you can park, but by then she could be half way to the station! DD's friends used to regard with a mixture of scorn and pity their (very few) peers who were ferried by a parent - the ferrying soon stopped anyway. It may seem daunting now, but girls of the calibre to get into Kendrick take to their journeys and the pressured days like ducks to water.

Of course, the OP's DD may have special needs, in which case I apologise grovellingly for the above and would then say that the school is very approachable and that's the place to ask.

Thank you for the advice,

Good luck! Smashing school
