School security

We are fortunate at St Edmund’s to have had no real problems with security this year.

The safety of the children is of the utmost importance and we have procedures in place to ensure the children are safe at all times.

We would ask parents to help us by making sure the door is closed when they leave and by closing the gate.

Some parents park their cars on the yellow zig zag lines which is very dangerous. The police can issue fines to people who park on zig zig lines outside schools.

Community issues

We want the children to feel happy, safe and secure while they are with us.
