STUDENT CARDS You are expected to wear your student ID cards at all time. This entitles you to access the school site. As it is the main way in which we can protect you from intruders, you may be challenged to prove your identity, if your ID card is not visible and you will be expected to be able to produce your card for any member of staff who requests it. You will be given a warning on the first occasion you fail to wear the card and will be sent home on the second occasion. Your ID card will contain a microchip which will allow you access to corridors and walkways which are not used by the rest of the school. It is your responsibility to keep this safe and to use it wisely. If you lose yours, you will be requested to purchase a new one from the school bursar. If you are seen to misuse the privilege, the chip will be deactivated and you will lose the right to the easier access around the school. Replacement ID cards and lanyards will cost you £7.
