    Hmm. OP registers today, starts thread and immediately logs off.


    I know what that makes me think, especially with the posting style and content.
    Not this again

    Comments like yours make a mockery of this board

    My kids's school has a proper car-park and a drop off system so we don't have any of these problems.. but then again it also has 3 security guards, perimeter security gates, CCTV and bomb proof outer windows. The next step is to get some concrete barriers near the main gate to prevent ramming threats. Anyone photographing cars would be frogmarched away from the area.

    I bet you've also got the secretive Community Security Trust patrolling the area as well.

    nah, CST don't attend, but they do patrol the high street on Saturday mornings. I'm not sure how they are secretive either!

    They're a charity but you try finding out who their trustees are.

    Can we just be clear - photographing children is not in itself a crime.


    (and no-one will be frogmarched anywhere....)

    If they're really sectretive, perhaps the website isn't such a good idea.

    Lots of parents seem to think that they can stop someone taking pictures in a public place. They cannot.
