Security We take the security and safety of the school community at DUCKS very seriously. We work hard to maintain a welcoming environment for everyone who comes to our school. DUCKS has a robust visitor procedure to ensure we know who is on site at all times. This is essential, in case of fire, for example. These measures include; • All staff wear ID badges on black staff lanyards • All visitors sign the visitors book and wear a visitors badge with a red lanyard • We always politely challenge anyone not wearing a visible ID card • Asking parents to use the correct entry and exit points to our school at all times To maintain the security of our buildings and site it is very important that only DUCKS staff open the main entrance doors and gates to the buildings. This ensures that visitors are welcomed by DUCKS staff and they are directed appropriately. If you see anyone acting suspiciously on site, please inform the School Office immediately. Kindergarten Entry to the Kindergarten is by video entry phone and we ask that parents do not let other people ’tail gate’ when they come into the building. Internally, the blue door is kept locked throughout the day. When you arrive, if there is no one at the blue door, please ring the door bell next to the door and a member of staff will let you in. We ask if you arrive early for the morning session, to wait in the hallway and make use of the Library. This ensures staff can clear away breakfast and set up the room for a calm start to the day. If your child attends the Baby Room, please use the Baby Room entrance to the right hand side of the building. The Baby Room staff will let you in at 8.00 am when the room is ready to receive children. Infants’ School All visitors will be signed in and issued with a visitor’s badge on a red lanyard by the School Office staff, this must be worn visibly. Entry to the Infants’ School during the day is through the front door where you will be greeted.
