school gate
Where parents wait
The school gate is the entrance to a school's grounds, where children are dropped off and picked up.
By extension, it refers to the social scene of parents gathering there: school gate gossip, school gate politics.
A school gate mum is a parent—typically a mother—defined by her presence at these daily rituals.
