Apply for a School Street exemption

If you are eligible, you can apply for an exemption from School Street restrictions.

School staff and regular school visitors

School staff members, teachers and regular visitors who need to park can apply for an exemption. Regular visitors include:

  • pupils being injured or suffering from a medical condition requiring parking close to the school
  • pupils on the SEN register or suffering a medical condition
  • visiting staff and teachers.

Discretionary exemptions

Exemptions may also be granted at the school's discretion for SEND pupils with mobility or behavioural issues.

Incidents of short-term illness or injury may also be covered at the school's discretion. Example scenarios include (but are not limited to), a parent needing to pick up a sick child from school, or if a pupil or parent/carer suffers an injury which affects their mobility.

How to apply

If you are a school staff member, a regular visitor, or a parent and feel that you require a school street exemption, please contact the school to discuss this in the first instance. They may request an exemption for your vehicle on your behalf.
