PROCEDURE FOR EVACUATION
- Warning of an emergency evacuation will be marked by a number of short bell rings. (In the event of a power failure, this may be a hand-held bell or siren.)
- All class work will cease immediately.
- Students will leave their bags, books, and other possessions where they are.
- Teachers will take the class rolls.
- Classes will vacate the premises using the nearest staircase. If these stairs are inaccessible, use the nearest alternative staircase. Do not use the lifts. Do not run.
- Each class, under the teacher’s supervision, will move in a brisk, orderly fashion to the paved quadrangle area adjacent to the car park.
- All support staff will do the same.
- The Marshalling Supervisor, Ms. Randall, will be wearing a red cap and will be waiting there with the master timetable and staff list in her possession.
- Students assemble in the quad with their teacher at the time of evacuation. The teacher will do a headcount and check the roll.
- Each teacher sends a student to the Supervisor to report whether all students have been accounted for. After checking, students will sit and wait.
