School Trips/Visits etc.

The Principal should be notified well in advance, in writing, of any planned

trip/visit etc.

In accordance with WELB safety regulations, educational visits are

carefully planned in advance, with staff visits made if possible. Details

are sent to parents. Children are asked to wear appropriate clothing for

the activity planned. The correct adult/child ratio of at least 1 adult to

10 pupils is always followed and depending on the specific special

needs/disability/age of the children there maybe more adults. A first

aid kit and list of emergency phone numbers is always taken.

Overnight stays

On overnight stays, arrangements for emergency contacts should be

made well in advance.

Details of medication required by certain pupils should be established in

advance and monitored by staff.

General

All staff should report immediately, to the Principal, any defect in the

fabric of the building which they deem to be a potential hazard.

Under no circumstances should pupils be left unattended. Should a

member of staff find it necessary to leave his/her class adequate cover

should be sought i.e. another member of staff.

Should a member of staff see a group of pupils who are unattended,

he/she should bring it to the immediate attention of the Principal, who

will see that adequate cover is provided.
