Building Safety
We constantly monitor the building to ensure that the children, staff and visitors are safe. It is really important that the staff and children feel safe so they can teach and learn in a relaxed environment.
Premises Security and Staff Presence
Whilst the children are in school the building and premises are secure. We do reply on parents and visitors to maintain this safety. The main gate, at the front entrance to the KS1 playground and office, operates a bar lock, which is also padlocked. All members of staff have a key.
Any visitors will press the bell on the office wall and a member of staff will speak with them and deal with the issue there. If they are visitor to the school, they will need to sign in and will be provided with a sticker.
Staff are present, at the back gate, from 8.00am until 8.45am and then the premises are secured. Staff then open and supervise all exits at 2.55pm, until all the children have gone home.
We do ask parents not to stop or park on marked areas, to ensure child safety.
If you are worried about any aspects of this then please speak to a member of staff.
Door Entry Key Fobs
Key doors are operated by a key fob. Each member of staff wears this at all times. A buzzer entry is on the main entrance and you will need to use this to enter the building. Staff may open the door for you, but the children have been taught not to open this door to anyone. We feel it is an adult’s decision to make to allow people into the building.
Risk Assessments
The building has a variety of risk assessments completed at regular intervals. These include: Water, fire, classrooms, electrical equipment, playground equipment etc.
