Visitors

At various times the school may have parents, tradespeople, and staff from support agencies visiting the school.

The following guidelines ensure the safety of everyone on the school site.

All visitors to the site, except the parents or guardians of presently enrolled children, are asked to report to the school office, sign in and identify their business.
Signage around the school directs visitors to report to the office.
All staff members monitor visitors to the school, and report any strange behaviour by adults on site to administration.
In the event of an evacuation, staff members carefully check each building to ensure that all rooms and spaces are empty.

Parents

Any parent (including separated parent), guardian or other person wishing to have contact with a child during school hours must follow this guideline. The school wants to ensure as little disruption as possible to the school/class programme, and to the child’s learning. Gorge Road School expects parents to use common sense and limit disruption to teaching and learning by only making contact or visits during breaks and lunchtime if possible.

Non-teaching staff and contractors

All non-teaching staff and contractors employed on site who have, or are likely to have unsupervised access to students during normal school hours are cleared by police vet.
