WAY FIDNING & NEW SIGNAGE

Project Play and supporters and the staff team have received many positive comments about the new signage and ‘way finding’ artwork around the playground gates. Thanks go to Project Play for their help in developing this element of our school estate.  The orientation process around the school will now be much clearer, while offering a learning opportunity to the pupils.

Arrangements for main entry access to the school has now changed. We are now using the ‘south-east’ gate (yellow circle) as opposed to the ‘north-west’ gate (plum oval).  The rationale around this decision has been discussed at Parent Council meetings, and centres on the desire to improve safeguarding by minimising visitor footfall within the playground.  The new main entrance provides a clearer ‘line of sight’ for staff to observe visitors through the school day, and reduce the unsighted walk through the playground from the north-west gate. 

This means that the gate beside the dining room (plum oval) will be locked during school hours, but will be open for nursery drop-off and collection from 15:05.
