Visiting us
Where to find us.
Swiss Gardens, Shoreham-by-Sea, West Sussex BN43 5WH. The road outside school is closed to through-traffic at drop-off and pick-up.
By foot or bike
Most of our families walk, scoot or cycle — the school sits in the heart of Shoreham, a five-minute walk from the high street and the harbour. Bike racks are available at the front gate.
School Streets — safer drop-off
The road outside the school is closed to through-traffic 8:00–9:00am and 2:30–3:30pm every weekday in term time. Pedestrian access is open throughout. Residents and Blue Badge holders are exempt.
By car
Limited on-street parking nearby; there's no school car park for parents. If you need to drive, please park considerately and walk the final stretch — you'll be inside the School Streets zone at peak times.
