Getting to School
St Mary’s Catholic Primary School, VA, is set within the beautiful, semi-rural village of Brayton, Selby.
Parking around the school
The parking around St Mary’s Catholic Primary School, VA, is limited and does not enable staff and parents to park safely in, or near to the school. We ask that parents park further away from school to avoid unnecessary congestion and unlawful parking. There are double yellow zones, buses only areas and yellow zig-zag zones to promote safe parking and protect our local residents.
Travelling to school
Parents and children are encouraged to walk to school whenever possible. It is expected that our younger pupils are accompanied by an adult. Older children who are allowed to walk to school alone do so with their parent or guardians permission, but the school is not responsible for the children until the doors open at 8.45am.
Road Safety
Children need to show high level awareness of traffic. The school addresses the dangers and safety of the children as an ongoing issue through police visits, talks prior to school outings, etc. but it is also essential for parents or guardians to teach their children good road safety habits. We are fortunate to have a school crossing patrol; we encourage all parents and children to cross at this point. Baffam Lane can be used by agricultural vehicles, HGV vehicles and local drivers to cut through the village. We ask all children and parents to be extra-vigilant when crossing roads.
Parking In and Around School
Parents are not allowed to use the school car park unless expressed permission has been given. There is a disabled parking space allocated in the school car park; this is available to anybody with a blue disabled parking badge. If you choose to use any of the local residential streets, please park considerately and away from any junctions. Please do not park on the grass or on double yellow lines.
Selby
Selby has excellent transport links to York. (Train and Bus) Wherever possible, we use public transport for trips and visits.
