THE headteacher of Marston Green Junior School has written to parents to clarify the free parking offered up by a nearby pub.
Marston Green Tavern is allowing mums and dads to use the rear car park to drop off and pick up pupils.
But a letter sent out this week warns that those leaving vehicles at the front of the building will be fined.
The free parking to the rear is available during the following peak periods - 7.45-9.00am and 2.45-4.00pm.
Headteacher Lynn Clark said: "It is a huge community gesture for the publican to offer a free parking facility to parents; this enables the areas around the school ... to be less congested and safe.
"As always, we rely on parents being co-operative and parking within the time limits and only at the rear of the car park.
"Should there be individual parents who choose not to follow the request of the publican then we have been reliably informed that the free parking facility will be removed completely."
Marston Green Juniors, in Station Road, is one of several schools which could be incorporated into the second phase of Solihull's School Streets scheme - which bans vehicles from surrounding roads during the busiest times of the day.
The village's nearby Infant Academy was one of three sites to pilot the initiative, which has largely been regarded a success by road chiefs.
