Secure, permit-controlled parking for Ernesford Grange Academy
Ernesford Grange Academy Reception and Car Park is a private surface lot serving staff, students, and authorized visitors to the academy. It offers 100 marked bays including six accessible spaces located near the main reception entrance. Access is unrestricted 24/7, but a permit system restricts parking outside school hours; permits are issued to staff and registered students. LED bollard lighting provides visibility during early-morning drop-off and late-evening events, and four CCTV cameras monitor entry, exit, and pedestrian routes. The asphalt surface is grooved to manage rainfall runoff; maintenance inspections occur quarterly with pothole repairs carried out within 48 hours. Pedestrian pathways lead directly to the academy reception (1-minute walk), sports hall (2 minutes), and playing fields (4 minutes). No EV charging facilities exist on-site; the nearest public charger is at Cannon Park Shopping Car Park, a 12-minute drive away. Weekly litter clearance and boundary hedge trimming maintain a clean environment.
