Parking

Parents are welcome to use the community car parks opposite Brenchley Garage, and at the Brenchley Memorial Hall. However, parking is very cramped and all parents are responsible for exercising care and common sense in making sure that these times of day are safe.

Cars should not be brought on to school premises as this is dangerous and causes congestion. The road leading up to the school is a private  road and access is required at all times by residents living further up. Please do not let your children play on this road.

We recognise that alternative options for most of our parents are limited, but we would ask you to give some thought to reducing the number of car journeys to and from the school, for example by considering car-sharing wherever practical.
