Online safety
School security and lockdown information
It's important for parents to know that their children are safe in school. During a normal school day the site is kept locked with limited access for visitors who are required to sign in at the office. Staff are vigilant and will challenge strangers on site if they can't identify them - if you happen to be one of our visitors or parent helpers, please don't be offended if staff ask you to identify yourself - it's an important part of keeping your children safe.
Schools always need to be prepared to act in the event of a threat. Most people have a good understanding of what happens if school needs to evacuate for things such as fire or gas leaks, but they tend to be less informed about what happens when we need to keep everyone safely inside the building. This process is called lockdown and it can be triggered by a variety of events or threats. Threats can range from severe air pollution warnings or weather alerts, to reports of potential intruders.
