CHILD PROTECTION
Parents should be aware that the school will take any reasonable action to ensure the
safety of its pupils. In cases where the school has reason to be concerned that a child
may be subject to ill-treatment, neglect or other forms of abuse, staff have no alternative
but to follow City Council Child Protection Procedures and inform social services of
their concern.
SECURITY
In the interests of safety both of pupils and staff, the school doors will be kept locked.
Visitors may gain access by contacting staff at the main entrance. Children are not
allowed to open the doors without permission from a member of staff. Please do not ask
them to do so if you are waiting at the door. ANY visitor to the school must report to
the school office and sign in and out, whatever the reason for their visit. Please do not
go directly to your child’s corridor or classroom without first reporting in. Anyone who
has not reported to the office will be challenged and may be asked to leave. Please do
not take offence at this. The safety of our pupils is our main concern.
ROAD SAFETY
Road Safety is taught through a variety of topics and in Health Education. The Road
Safety Officer is involved in working with pupils at regular intervals. Parents and
carers are not allowed to bring cars down the school drive. Children should enter
school via the tunnel under Hampshire Road or should be escorted on foot down the
drive by an adult. This is necessary for the safety of all our children but particularly the
younger children.
We do have a cycle shelter for the storage of bicycles. Children are not allowed to cycle
to school without an adult accompanying them. If cycles are left in the storage area they
must be secured with a lock from home. Cycling Clubs are run regularly for the older
children in school. The programme followed is to encourage safer cycling.
