You must have your visitor pass on you at all times so that all staff and students can recognise you as a visitor. You must make sure that you sign in at the main reception in order to have access to the school and be issued with a visitor badge. Anyone without proof of a valid DBS will be given a red lanyard and will need to be accompanied at all times whilst on school site.
For any first aid requirements, please make sure to speak to a member of staff on site. Our staff are First Aid trained.
If you are on the premises and the fire alarm sounds, you must exit the building via your nearest fire exit and make your way to the fire assembly point marked visitors on the school playground where you will receive further instructions.
Toilets are located off the main reception area and down the main corridor.
Taking photographs during your visit to the academy is not permitted. Should you wish to take photographs, permission must be obtained in the first instance from the Principal or Assistant Principal of the setting.
