"Child safety is our number one priority which is why we introduced the procedure that parents may receive a late pick up charge if their child/children stay after hours."
Child safety is our number one priority which is why we introduced the procedure.
Al Siraat College Head of Operations Leah Hamel
Ms Hamel added: "The amount of children left late after school has significantly reduced."
She also noted that the school hadn't received much feedback from parents in relation to the policy change.
The college provides after school care for students in partnership with CAMP, an organisation which provides before and after school care.
Alternative channels for parents who might be running late for 'legitimate reasons' have also been offered to parents to use, including phoning the school office.
Ms Hamel said the college prides itself on providing a "duty of care" to the school, families and the greater community.
"Working together is the only way forward and we welcome any suggestions that can help us to improve our procedures and processes," she said.
Meanwhile in the UK, schools are piloting schemes to stop parents hovering in their cars at the school gates - and they face a £50 fine if they flout the ban.
The idea is designed to cut pollution, and protect kids from breathing in dangerous fumes.
And Lancashire County Council has proposed issuing penalty notices of £1,000 per child per parent for taking their child out of school for holidays during term time.
