WELL DONE CHILDREN - 'LOCKDOWN' DRILL in school20 November 2024 (by admin) |
The children conducted themselves with great credit earlier this week because we had a 'lockdown drill' in school. All part of keeping the children and staff as safe as can be on the school site. We do this as well as going through fire drills.
Why do school establishments have lockdown drills and procedures?
It starts off talking about how there may be dangerous animals or a big storm raging outside and how people have to stay inside the school building to be safe. It might well be that the police or the fire service have asked a school establishment to go into lockdown mode.
Lockdown drills are a specific safety drill to prepare pupils and staff to achieve maximum safety in the event of a possible threat and this may include possible violence outside school or a local disaster event.
Again, if school ever had to go into actual lockdown mode, we would inform you via the usual avenues of correspondence communication (MCAS, school app, school website home page).
Thank you parents.
