Health & Safety

Your children are supervised at all times during the day. Minor accidents are always dealt with immediately. If emergencies arise we make every effort to contact you on the numbers you have provided on your child’s admission form. Should this prove impossible the school will act in the best interests of the child. Children are not allowed to leave the site unless we have notification from you and we know who is collecting your child. No child is allowed to be collected by a minor (under the age of 16 years).

School security is of paramount importance and is regularly reviewed. All entrances are controlled and all visitors are vetted. All adults have to undergo a police check (CRB) before being allowed to work with children.

A fire drill is practised at least three times per year.

The school has a common sense policy to Sun Safety. On the few hot days, we ask parents to use high factor sun cream on their children and send them to school with sun hats. We encourage children to drink plenty of water and make use of shady areas when outside.

We do not permit dogs to enter the grounds (except those for the disabled).

Smoking is not allowed anywhere on school premises or on the school grounds.

ACCESS TO THE SCHOOL SITE

Please do not attempt to drive into the staff/visitors’ car park between :-

  • 8:45 am and 9:15 am, and
  • 3:00 pm and 3:30 pm

It is a traffic free zone during those times in order to prevent serious accidents occurring.

Similarly, please be considerate when parking in the local area – Ebdon Lane is very narrow and needs to be kept free for emergency access.
