End of term earlier finish time of 12:20

Just a reminder that on Wednesday 23rd July, students will be finishing school at the earlier time of 12:20pm for the start of the summer holidays.

New academic year - Term 1 starts on Wednesday 3rd September 2025 for Yr7 and Yr11 Students

On the first day back, we invite Year 7 and Year 11 Students into the school first to get settled before the rest of the year groups arrive. Therefore, Year 7 and Yr11 students should arrive between 8:15am and 8:40am through the student gate ready for an 8:45am start.

All other year groups will start back on Thursday 4th September and should arrive between 8:15am and 8:40am through the student gate ready for an 8:45am start.

We request that you ensure your child is in full school uniform and has the correct equipment, ready for the new term. If you are unsure, please check on the Parent Information section of the website.

Welcome to the Campus Travel Action Group (CTAG) update page

We will use this page to update parents and staff about progress against the Action Plan and to communicate information relating to travel and parking at the campus.

We have held several consultation events with parents and stakeholders and will continue to schedule meetings throughout the school year.

If you would like to contact the CTAG directly, please email campus.travel@dbat.org.uk 

 

Next steps (as at 10th July 2024)

We will continue working on the actions in the plan and will feedback to parents again early in T1 at school, and by updates to the websites as they occur.

 

Campus:

  • We would like a parent with child(ren) at The Deanery to join our Campus Travel Action Group; if you are interested, please email campus.travel@dbat.org.uk.  We already have Kingfisher representation.

Buses:

  • We will continue working with Swindon Bus and try to engage again with Stagecoach on the actions in the plan.

Parking:

  • With immediate effect, drop off for students at The Deanery will be in the area behind the MUGA, with a “drop and go” area as marked.  Please keep the drop off area clear, and stop for no longer than 30 seconds.
  • Pick up will be in the area behind the MUGA only, with the drop off area kept clear for taxis, minibuses etc.
  • Parking in the disabled bays is only for those with a blue badge where the badge holder is exiting / entering the vehicle; this will be monitored and enforced.
  • There will be double yellow lines painted over the summer along all access ways; please dop not park in these areas so that we can maintain access for emergency vehicles and other traffic.  This will be monitored and enforced.
  • If you have an appointment with a member of staff, please park in the area behind the MUGA and ensure you enter your registration number when signing in at reception.
  • We will encourage students (and parents) of The Deanery to walk, cycle or use the bus where it is possible and safe to do so.

Community:

  • We will continue to work with parents to ensure that H&W and Waitrose car parks are only used by their customers and not by parents at pick up time.
  • We will update the websites with as much information as we can about the ever-changing construction landscape around the school as and when we can.

 

Please see the slides that we presented at the recent CTAG Consultation event, which contains analysis of the travel surveys as well as actions against the Travel Plan.
