In March 2012, our School was accredited a ‘Safer School’. This is a school security initiative created by West Mercia Police and supported by Shropshire Council. It involves the following aspects.
- Implement basic security measures applicable at all schools i.e. property marking, and visitor passes etc.
- Consider pro-active security/safety measures for the site/building and/or protecting assets.
- Establish a procedure for recording incidents i.e. anti-social behaviour, vandalism etc. Any recorded information can then be analysed. In addition, the same recording procedure can be used for surveying a problem i.e. an unauthorised thoroughfare.
- If there are any projects to be undertaken, they are prioritised. Following the implementation of a project, the success of it is reviewed.
- PSHE or education of pupils as per the Safer School
To maintain the accreditation, we have held regular Safer School meetings since 2012. Part of the Safer School process is gathering the views/concerns of parents/carers. If you have views/concerns, including any positive observations, please could you forward in writing by Friday 28th May 2021 so they may be considered at the next Safer School meeting in June. The focus is the school grounds/site only NOT the parking arrangements outside the school. We will also be doing surveys with the pupils in school.
Thank you.
