Visiting us?
If you would like to visit the school, please contact us by phone or email to arrange this in advance. All visitors must sign in at reception and wear a lanyard to identify them during their visit. Visitors must be accompanied by a member of staff at all times unless we have evidence that they have a current and valid DBS check and their visit requires them not to be accompanied.
If you have a disability or additional needs, please let the person hosting your visit or our office team know, and we will make any reasonable adjustments to support your visit. There are accessible parking spaces in our Visitor Car Park and an accessible toilet in our Reception area.
In line with Public Health guidance, please do not attend site if you have tested positive for COVID-19 in the last 5 days or have a temperature or illness that is likely to be infectious.
All adults on site are role models for our students. We expect everyone visiting our site to be polite and respectful of others. Swearing, shouting, or threatening or aggressive behaviour will not be tolerated. We reserve the right to ask visitors to leave the site and to ban individuals from the school site for an agreed period if they do not behave appropriately. Our staff are instructed to end a telephone conversation if anyone is rude, abusive or threatening and to report any rude, abusive or threatening emails or conversations.
We are a no-smoking site. This includes e-cigarettes (vapes).
