The offending school should be seriously considering its duty towards local community cohesion. In other words, it should be seen to be proactive to finding alternative places for parents to park. For example, my former school ran a successful park and stroll scheme, where parents could park at a nearby pub and then walk their children to school. Some schools also run walking buses, manned by staff, whereby children meet at an arranged spot and are accompanied on the walk to school by a responsible adult.
I share your angst OP, it really is quite frustrating.
They have a park and stroll arrangement with the local club around the corner, they have a lovely big car park, but nobody seems to be using it as it's quite a walk away. The day I couldn't get into my drive, the car park in question was empty!

There is a paid man on the gate but he has no rights to stop cars entering the car park!
Oh, but he does, its private land, so if given the power by the school has the right to judge who can and cannot enter said land, just as any publican, (or shopkeeper?) has the right to refuse to serve someone just because he doesn't want to
