Dear Parents/Carers,
We have been informed that Severn Trent Water are carrying water pipe repairs in the area and in order to do so
they will be closing part of Phillips Street in order to carry out the works. This will cause large disruption to
parents picking up and dropping pupils off over the coming few weeks.
Cars will not be able to enter/leave Phillips Street at the Thomas Street junction, the road will be closed from
27th May 2025 – 13th June 2025.
Please do not drive outside the main entrance of the school there will be no way for you to turn around.
We ask that you kindly park further along Phillips Street by the park and your child meet you there, or on
Elkington Street or Thomas Street (where there is space for you to turn your car around). Map is attached.
Please see the attached letter sent by Severn Trent to the school and local residents.
Parking
In light of this please can we direct as many students as possible to the entrance/exit on Upper Sutton Street. We
will open this entrance from 8.30am and we will close this exit at 3.35pm.
The road closure will be for 3 weeks, and we will keep parents updated as to when this work has finished, and the
road will be opened.
Can I ask that you pay consideration to our residents and our local business community by not blocking driveways
or business entrances. Please can I ask that you do not mount the pavement as this is dangerous for pedestrians.
This will be an inconvenience, but please can I ask for your co-operation for the time-being to support our local
community, who this will undoubtedly impact, and to keep our students safe.
Yours sincerely,
J Sweeney
Headteacher
