In case of lockdown
Parents will be told:
"The school is in a full lockdown situation. During this period the switchboard and entrances will be unmanned, external doors locked and nobody allowed in or out."
Depending on the type and severity of the incident, parents may be asked NOT to collect their children from the school as it may put them and their child at risk. Parents will be asked not to call the school as this may tie up emergency lines.
If the end of the day is extended due to the lockdown, parents will be notified and will receive information about the time and place pupils can be picked up. Notification may be made by school staff or emergency services.
