FIRE DRILL

When the fire alarm sounds all staff, students and visitors will leave the building by the

designated fire exits, make their way to the rear of the school and assemble on the TENNIS

COURTS to the south east of the main school building.

People exiting through fire doors from the eastern side of the building – from the sports hall,

Community Suite, dining room extension and the eastern end of the rear 3 storey teaching block

will head towards the rear of the school and access the TENNIS COURTS via the footpath between

the teaching block and all-weather pitch. The gate in the fencing between the main building and

the all-weather pitch will be automatically unlocked when the fire alarm sounds to allow free

passage for people exiting from the sports hall and Community Suite.

People exiting from the southern side of the building out of the 3 sets of doors on the rear of

the three storey teaching block will follow the path along the rear of the building to the TENNIS

COURTS.

People exiting from the western side of the building – from the fire doors at the rear of the

Community Suite, the main entrance, the hall, SEN Entrance and the western end of the three

storey teaching block will head towards the rear of the school along the path around the western

end of the main teaching block then along to the TENNIS COURTS. The gate in the external

fencing between the main building and the western boundary of the school site will be

automatically unlocked when the fire alarm sounds to allow free passage.

All staff, students and visitors will assemble on the TENNIS COURTS to the south east and rear of

the main building.

In Science and other practical subjects it may be necessary to tie back long hair during practical

DINING

The new school will use a cashless system—this means you use your

finger print to pay for your lunch. Your parent/carer will need to load

money on to your account before you can buy anything. If you have

free school meals an allowance will be added to your account each

day.

Letters were sent home by post earlier this term for parents to sign up

to ParentPay and the new biometric (fingerprint) system. All students

should have returned the permission slip for the biometric system

otherwise you will not be able to access the canteen. You need to

make sure you sign it yourself as well as your parents/carers. If you

haven't brought your letter back yet it is important that you bring it in.

as soon as possible.

Important note. Parents must put money into the school dinners fund

in parent pay. We had quite a few students whose parents had put

money into parent pay but had not put it into school dinners so they

could not have a meal.
