Park and stride - Zones

Chesswood Road - Main Entrance

Typical Walking Times

100m = @2m 20 secs

200m = @4m 40 secs

300m = @7m

400m = @9m 20 secs

Please click the image to open it in a new page and look in more detail at local roads available within different walking times.

When using the Chesswood Rd Main entrance it is unrealistic to park North of the train line hence the red hatched area.

We ask all parents to recognise that parking at or very near < 100m to the school is unrealistic and increases road safety risks for children. PLEASE get into the habit of finding a space 100m + away from the school gate. Enjoy a brief walk with your child.
