Facilities Usage
School Days
All parents and visitors are reminded to sign-in and out at Reception on every visit to the
campus.
Visitors need to observe the following:
• Any illness, injury of accident must be reported to the school office.
• As a visitor, you have a legal responsibility to care for your own and others’ health and
safety.
• If the fire alarm sounds, leave the building by the nearest exit and report to the
assembly point.
• The school operates a no smoking policy, which we ask you to respect.
• The school accepts no responsibility for any loss of, or damage to, visitors’ property.
• Visitors are requested not to enter classrooms or teaching areas except by prior
arrangement.
Students must always be accompanied by their parents or another adult when on the
school grounds. Please help us protect our children and preserve our ageing trees and
bushes by not allowing children to play or climb in them.
Weekends/Holidays
Unless there is a weekend school event, school grounds are closed from Saturday noon
until Monday morning.
Buildings, classrooms, and other educational rooms are not open, unless prior
arrangements have been made with the head of school. Again, students must be
supervised by an adult at all times, and appropriate conduct is expected. An event planner
needs to be completed and the appropriate risk assessments must be submitted.
Pets
No pets are allowed on campus. Exceptions to this must be approved by the divisional
Principal and the purpose of the visit must be educational.
Mobile Phones
As per UK law, hand-held mobile phones may not be used by drivers whilst in transit on
school grounds.
