2007-2008
season
Our
season is now closed.
Please
note that we are unable to open for the summer concerts.
Once
again we would like to express our thanks on behalf of the school, its
students and parents, to everyone who has parked with us through this
'thin' rugby season, to our "regulars", to those who have
passed our name on to friends and clubs, to all who have again made
this initiative so successful and together raised £8,165.10 directly
for school funds.
Our
parent-stewards as ever add their thanks for the friendliness and good
humour which you have invariably shown, which have made their task that
much more rewarding.
All
our takings do go directly to the school and its expressed needs, providing
facilities additional to normal educational funding. We hope that some
of you may have seen the minibus purchased from previous year's takings,
and have used facilities, picnic benches etc, which have also been purchased
through this initiative.
Liz,
who has 'master-managed' the initiative for the past several years,
and Peter, who has run the website and bookings system since its inception,
are now moving on; and we would particularly like to take this opportunity
of expressing our thanks to everybody, to our patrons for their forbearance,
to our team of fellow-parents for their loyalty. We look forward to
our successors enjoying the same goodwill and success.
Thank
you . We look forward to seeing you again next season.

Orleans
Park School offers secure parking an easy walk from the RFU Ground and many
popular hostelries, yet at a convenient distance to avoid the pre- and post-match
traffic chaos. We're particularly well-placed for visitors from the north,
east and south. We are signposted in the local area.
Please scroll down this page for map and details of
how to find us, now including SatNav!
Parking
is organised and stewarded throughout arrivals and departures by parents,
and all proceeds are devoted directly to the school. There is parking for
approximately 140 cars. Toilets are available on the premises.
We must advise
you that our parking initiative is popular, and we do recommend that you book
in advance to guarantee a space. Pre-booking
is accepted in good faith: we do not make a charge for this service, but ask
that if you pre-book you take up your space by a stipulated time or advise
us if you plan to arrive later. You may do this by email in advance or on
a mobile number for the match day. Thank you.
*Minibuses
are asked to email us directly with any available details of their vehicles.*
Vehicles are parked at their owner's risk. The school reserves the right
to refuse entry. The school gates will be locked for the duration of the match,
and will be locked at the times advised.

to find Orleans Park School

For those of you blessed with every modern convenience, apparently all you
need is our postcode -- TW1 3BB.
M3
coming from the West: the M3 runs into the A316, up onto the elevated section
(waterworks on your right, dairy - note the cows on the roof - on your left,
follow round as it bears right, then, if the traffic's looking heavy, take
the second sliproad marked A312 (retail park, storage units, Wickes etc
on the left), bear right under the flyover, then take first exit on your left
A305 Staines Road, with McDonalds and Homebase on your left, and continue straight
on, bringing you to Twickenham Green on your right, carry straight on into Twickenham,
straight across the first set of lights (Marks & Spencer on your left),
then into right hand lane to take the right fork at the next (central Twickenham)
lights, along Richmond Road and look out for us on your right just after The
Anchor pub, but before you get to The Crown pub; or, if the traffic hasn't
yet bottled up, continue along the elevated A316 until it brings you down to
the first roundabout and lights at Hospital Bridge Road; take the third
exit, playing fields on your left, park on your right, down to the first set
of lights, left into the Staines Road and straight on as above.
M4
coming from the West, come off at Junction 3, take A312 South, left at 1st
roundabout onto A4 Bath Road, A4 Great West Road at 2nd roundabout, straight
on until approaching Gillette Corner (Gillette building on left) take right
hand lane, right at lights (Homebase on left), over railway bridge, down and
across lights, bearing right to pass West Middlesex Hospital on your left, across
St John's Road roundabout to lights at Isleworth War memorial; turn left and
follow down St Margaret's Road, cross straight over the A316 roundabout (lights),
follow our fluorescent signs up to St Margaret's Station, over the brow
and facing St Margaret's Tavern, take right fork down Crown Road and turn right
at the mini-roundabout in front of The Crown. Watch out for our gates almost
immediately on your left.

From
South Circular A205, come off onto A316 at Chalker's Corner (by the cemeteries),
follow Richmond to Kew Road roundabout, then, depending on traffic, either
follow the main traffic flow (A316) across Twickenham Bridge, follow our
fluorescent signs to turn left at first roundabout (lights) up to St Margarets
Station, right fork down Crown Road, right at The Crown mini-roundabout, watch
out for our gates almost immediately on your left, or make your way through
the Richmond one way system, come out of Richmond up to the Odeon roundabout,
right across Richmond Bridge, and follow as below.
From
Richmond, over Richmond Bridge, continue through East Twickenham parade
of shops, turn left at lights towards Twickenham (Richmond Road), follow round,
past St Stephen's Church and Marble Hill Park on your left to the mini-roundabout
in front of The Crown pub, our gates are about 50 yards beyond, on your left.
From
Kingston and the South; either up through Ham and Richmond, turn
left over Richmond Bridge and follow instructions above; or across Kingston
Bridge and up through Teddington or Bushy Park to Twickenham; right at the lights
as you come into Twickenham, then keep in right hand lane to turn right at the

your right after The Anchor pub.
