Due to the volume of unaccompanied school age children currently accessing the site and the associated safeguarding issues this presents. For this reason from the 9th May, we intend to manage this by restricting access to Richard Hoggard Building. This will involve the closure of all side doors to RHB (10.00 am) except the main entrance and the Laurie Grove Car Park entrance. During this period, security will be carrying out ID checks at the entrances, staff and students are required to produce their ID badges on request.
We hope that our actions at this time will help improve the student experience during the exam period, we remain committed to maintaining an open campus and accompanied children and any organised group visits will still be accommodated. Please accept our apologies for any inconvenience this may cause, if you have any further questions please email estates
