We have recently made some changes to our ‘lockdown’ procedure. On Friday 7 March we will run a lockdown procedure practice to ensure all staff and students know and understand exactly what to do should we ever be in a situation where our school site needs to be locked down.

On Friday you will receive a communication to notify you that we have started this practice. We would appreciate it if you did not try to contact your child via mobile phone, as part of the procedure is to minimise noise & light levels across the site and maintain a calm environment. As phones are forbidden on site for students, any use of them during this incident would incur a consequence as per the school’s policy.

After the practice has been completed, we will gain feedback from students and consider their views in any amendment we may need to make to the procedure.

Thank you in anticipation of your support,
