Our aim is to provide a safe and secure environment for our students, staff, volunteers and visitors.  As a school, we are committed to safeguarding and meeting the needs of children and young people.

Security of Students, Staff & Visitors

All members of staff will wear photo identity badges on 🔵 BLUE lanyards at all times.

All visitors should report to the school on arrival and sign in on the electronic signing-in system.  Visitors will be issued with a lanyard which must be worn at all times.

The lanyards are colour-coded as follows:

  • 🔴 RED: The visitor requires supervision at all times and must not be in any part of the school on their own.
  • 🟢 GREEN: The office has seen and noted the visitor’s DBS and photo ID.  Visitors are on our Single Central Record and can be unsupervised.
  • 🟡 YELLOW: These are specifically for Work Experience students.  All checks have been carried out prior to placement and details are on our Single Central Record.

All mobile phones must be switched off and must not be used whilst you are in school, including the Reception area.

We have a Relationship Policy and Staff Code of Conduct and expect all staff and visitors to:

  • Treat everyone with respect and dignity;
  • Promote and model safe behaviour.

Protective Behaviours are explicitly taught.  The two themes are:

  • We all have the right to feel safe all the time;
  • We can talk with someone about anything, even if it feels awful or small.

If, as a visitor, you have any concerns about a student’s wellbeing, management, or welfare, we would like you to report this to a Designated Safeguarding Lead (DSL).  You can ask the school office to locate a DSL. You should not discuss the concern with anyone else other than a DSL.

If you have any concerns about any member of staff, this should be reported to the Headteacher, Tracy Latham, directly.  Please ask the school office to locate her, or you can e-mail her with your concerns at: tlatham@isebrookschool.co.uk.

If the concern is about the Headteacher, please report this to the Chair of Governors, John FrostwickPlease ask the school office for his contact details.

Health & Safety

Fire:

If you hear the fire alarm sounding, please make your way out of the building immediately following the green fire exit signs and make your way to the agreed assembly points.

For visitors, this will be at the front of the building.

DO NOT RE-ENTER THE BUILDING UNLESS YOU ARE INFORMED BY A MEMBER OF STAFF IT IS SAFE TO DO SO.

Accident/Illness:

Should you have an accident or feel unwell during your visit, please report to the school office.  If you are unable to do so, please inform a member of staff who will assist you. We have a number of first-aiders and there is always someone on duty. 

All accidents will be recorded.

Isebrook School is a non-smoking site - please respect this.

Don’t think... "What if I'm wrong?"

Do think... "What if I’m right?"

Everyone has a responsibility to make sure that students within Isebrook School are safe.

Every Child Matters.
