The principal monitors the performance of the school security measures. This is achieved by the safety & security team monitoring performance as per their governing policy via the head teachers reports to the principal

The principal also delegates the day to day implementation of the safety and security policy to the Head Teachers to keep the children safe.

 

All staff will comply with  the safety & security  policy and the arrangements made by the  safety & security department  to ensure the safety of children, employees and others on the school site.

Children

Children will be encouraged to exercise personal responsibility for the security of themselves and other by reporting to security & safety staff or teachers any kind of bullying by others.

Controlled access and egress during the school day

Controlled access is a combination of measures to ensure that unauthorized visitors do not present an unacceptable risk to pupils or staff.

The school is fenced with 2 meters walls to avoid any intruders to access the school premises illegally.

Buildings

The main building has only two doors of access to visitors and parents who must first register with security staff and then proceed to a specific destination which must also be explained.

Safety & security Staff escort pupils into school and out from school on to the busses and those seated at the reception where they are collected by parents.

 Grounds

During the school day all pupils are supervised when in the playground. This is by teachers and security staff in order for pupils to be safe from injuries or get into physical childish fights as they are playing.

CCTV

The CCTV system is part of our security procedures. The system has the ability to record incidents to enable evidence to be presented to the appropriate authorities. Signage informs people of this.

Risk Assessment

Security risk assessment will be completed annually by the safety and security head of department. The findings will be used in the review of this security policy.
