Security

Children are supervised all day, by teachers, classroom assistants and lunchtime supervision staff. School doors are fitted with security locks and are kept locked during the school day. All visitors to school are required to report to the office and sign in. This enables us to monitor closely exactly who is on the premises.

Children who arrive late at school must report to the office and have their attendance recorded in the register. If children are removed from school, either at lunchtime or for other reasons, parents must inform the administration staff and have them ‘signed out’ or ‘signed in’. In this way we are able to check the whereabouts of all children and maintain their safety.

We have close links with our Community Police officers, indeed, the Community Beat Office is based within the school itself. This means that the children come into contact with the officers on a regular basis which helps them get to know each other and also assists the children in understanding that the police are there to help them. It also gives added security both for the school, and for local residents. We are delighted to have our ‘neighbours’ in residence and look forward to a long and mutually beneficial, association.
