Emergency Evacuation
I’d like to quash rumours about an Emergency Evacuation we had yesterday. This evacuation was due to a faulty heat sensor in the canteen kitchen which with no heat (or smoke for that matter) set off the fire panel and therefore the emergency evacuation alarm. The local fire crew were in attendance as due to the fact it wasn’t a planned practice they have to attend to make sure there is no issue being masked that we cannot see. With no issues and no damage they promptly left the school. The company who service the system were then called to replace this faulty sensor. Written by Mr McGilp.

School Uniform
I would like to clarify and reaffirm a few points in relation to the school uniform before the session in ends which means that parents are fully aware of facts whilst buying items for the start of term over the summer. In relation to this please find enclosed the School Uniform Policy. School shoes We ask for pupils to wear school shoes and not trainers as there is then a perplexity for pupils to wear the same shoes for PE as they do period by period. For health and hygiene reasons it is not good practice for pupils to be running about, getting sweaty feet and then sitting in class with the same shoes on. If pupils are then outside and get soaked
