Site Safety
Children are told at Viewley Hill that keeping them safe is our most important job. With that in mind, parents will appreciate that security arrangements are for their children’s benefit and for those of the staff.
Gates- gates into Nursery and Reception, Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2 are manned by staff and are locked for security purposes. Each morning there are members of staff outside so that you can communicate any messages that are needed or alternatively you may pop into the office to see Mr Cody.
Viewley Hill is a no smoking site and dogs must not be brought onto the premises at any time. We ask that all children step off their scooters and bikes and push them when on the school grounds. This applies to children arriving for Nursery or Pre School to Year 6 children. When on the school grounds, before and after school, it is important that all children are supervised and not allowed to climb onto the climbing frames.
Any children arriving late, once the gates are locked, will need to use the main entrance. Parents may not accompany their children to their classrooms when school is in session; a member of the office team will accompany children who are late to their classroom.
Parents should not attempt to enter the main teaching block through cloakroom doors or elsewhere at any point during the day. If you wish to speak to a teacher please arrange this at the main reception.
These procedures are to ensure that we comply with safeguarding practices that all schools and academies must adopt to ensure the safety of both pupils and staff. Thank you for your understanding.
