Welcome back!
Date: 3rd Sep 2017 @ 6:20pm
We look forward to welcoming the children back to school on Tuesday 5th September.
Please note that access to the school will be predominantly from the Grange Lane car park.
The pedestrian gates closest to the chip shop and the Verdin Exchange on the High Street will be open at the beginning and end of the school day for access from High Street as will the pedestrian gates from the Grange car park.
The new office block is located in the centre of school for ease of access.
During he summer we have had magnetic locks fitted to the majority of the doors to improve security. Only staff will be able to gain access to areas of the site with their card passes. This will prevent children moving from one area to another without permission and stop visitors accessing the site without supervision. However in an emergency, the locks will be automatically released to allow the children to evacuate should the need arise. A fire drill be bill held during the first couple of days to guide the children in what to do in such an emergency.
I am sure that there will be a few teething problems with the new access arrangements, if you feel that something is not working as well as it could, please let us know.
we look forward to working with you and your children during the year.
regards
Mark Joule
Headteacher
