A BID to break up "bottlenecks" in the approach to a Ross-shire school in an attempt to ensure the safety of pupils is bearing fruit.
Pupils of Park Primary have been using spare classroom space at Invergordon Academy since their own school was badly damaged in a fire back in February.
Concerns had been expressed about bottlenecks at certain approaches to the school.
Through the school's information page, parents were last week asked to enter the Academy grounds from the Leisure Centre side of the campus.
It was also noted some parents had been driving up the side road by the Academy to drop children at the PE side of the school.
The appeal asked parents and children not to walk round the back of the school to access class lines.
Parents are now being told that by end of the school day today, a path should be in place leading around the school to where some classes line up.
The school information page posted: "You may have also noticed that there is a new gate installed in readiness for the one way system for parents. The Herris fencing needs to be moved to improve access to the path along the side of the hedge and hopefully this will also happen quickly. This improvement will reduce the bottleneck caused by the current arrangement and make it much easier for parents to social distance.
!In the meantime please keep to the left and if you are chatting please use the open green space before the narrow path (remember the 2m rule!)."
