The Y11 Prom is Friday 20th June 2025 @ The Earl of Doncaster Hotel, Doncaster- 6pm – 10.30pm. Further details to follow once final arrangements confirmed.

The following letter was received from Doncaster Council Parking Enforcement team on the 5th March 2025. Please note we are unable to assist with any issues relating to this, as it is directly run on the public road from Doncaster Council and and request you contact their team for any issues, details below.

Creating a Safer Environment around Schools

Parking on the ‘school keep clear markings outside schools in the mornings and afternoons is a significant safety issue and results in many complaints being received by both our Parking Services and Communities. With usual enforcement options proving to be only mildly effective in terms of impact. Doncaster Council has procured a modern system for the purpose of daily enforcement of school keep clear markings.

The Council has decided to introduce camera enforcement, due to traditional enforcement being difficult, impractical and a suitable level of compliance is not being achieved.

The council has procured 8 (eight) cameras, plus an operating system to use outside schools in the Doncaster Borough. The innovative camera technology is designed to promote a safer environment around school gates by reducing congestion, which, in turn improves air quality. We also hope it will encourage motorists to reconsider the need to drive to school and choose alternative means.

The cameras will be operated during school times only and will only be used for enforcement purposes on the keep clear restriction and any nearby clearway bus stops. Residential properties will be obscured with a private filter, and only trained Civil Enforcement Officers will review the footage to action.

The choice of schools has been based on the analysis of feedback from the Parking Enforcement team and Safer Roads team over the past few years.

Please note that there is no exemption for buses/ coaches on these restrictions.
