Dear Parents,

We are really trying to promote good attendance and timekeeping at school.  Please see the planned roadworks that will be taking place over the next year, near to school.  We would appreciate you allowing extra time for your journey when dropping off and collecting children, whilst the work is taking place.

Thank you for your continued support.

Mrs Crook and Miss Stanton

Major works to start in Kingswinford next week

Work to upgrade traffic signals at three major junctions in Kingswinford will get under way from October 2.

The work is part of a £1 million investment by Dudley Council to improve traffic flow and make it safer for pedestrians in Kingswinford and Wall Heath, particularly for children walking to school.

Motorists are being warned to expect delays while the works – which will be in three phases and run for nearly a year – take place.

But council bosses say it will result in improved traffic flow, as well as improving air quality.

Phase one is due to start on October 2 and will run until Christmas at the junction of Cot Lane, Swindon Road, Lodge Lane and Summerhill.

The junction of Moss Grove, Wolverhampton Street, Stallings Lane and Dudley Road will form phase two, taking place from January next year until spring 2024.

The third and final phase of work, to the junction of Moss Grove, High Street, Market Street and Summerhill, is expected to start in June next year and run until September.

Manually controlled temporary signals will be in place throughout to minimise disruption as much as possible. However, significant delays are expected during certain periods and motorists are asked to avoid the areas affected where possible.
