We believe we make every effort to present all activities to pupils in an unbiased way, never deeming some to be ‘boys’ activities and others to be ‘girls’. All sports teams are encouraged to be mixed gender. We are currently looking at ways to raise boys’ appreciation and achievement in reading and literacy as there is a national problem in this area.
We have no issues with racial discrimination.

School Security

All visitors to the school are requested to report to a member of staff upon arrival. Any unexpected visitor unable to produce proof of identity may be asked to leave the premises. Outside doors are locked during lesson times but provide a fast escape in the event of a fire. Children at playtimes are closely supervised by staff.

All children should enter and leave the school by the cloakroom door. These doors are then locked at 9.05am and children arriving late should report to the office via the main door. Bus children leave school by the hall door accompanied by an adult.

At the end of the school day all children are told to return to school and stay with their teacher if no adult arrives to collect them. A member of staff will the phone their parents to ascertain the problem. The child will remain with a member of staff until an adult arrives to collect them. No child is allowed to leave unless we are sure they are safe.

The building has an intruder alarm, fire alarm and security lighting. Parents are welcome to see our full policy for Security Procedures.
