Visitor Information
IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR ALL VISITORS
Safeguarding
The welfare of our children at Windmill Primary School is our paramount concern. We want all our children to be safe and to feel safe.
Upon arrival, all visitors must report to the Reception Office where they will be required to sign in and will be issued with a Visitor Pass. Visitor Passes must be worn and displayed prominently at all times.
Red Visitor Pass
A Red Visitor Pass indicates that the visitor will need to be accompanied by a member of staff for the entire duration of their visit. Any visitor wearing a Red Visitor Pass that is seen unaccompanied on school premises, will be escorted to the Main Reception immediately and will be asked to remain at the Main Reception until a member of staff is available to supervise them.
Blue Visitor Pass
If the School has assured itself that the visitor has had the appropriate DBS check/clearance (or the visitor’s employer has confirmed that the visitor has had DBS clearance), and the visitor’s identity has been verified with photographic id, the visitor can be issued with a Blue Visitor Pass.
Please note that all visitors, irrespective of whether they have DBS clearance, should not be alone with pupils/children unless this is a legitimate part of their role/visit.
Whilst on school premises, ALL visitors are required to :
- dress appropriately
- use appropriate language at all times
- use adult toilets only
- treat everyone with respect and tolerance
- immediately inform one of the Designated Safeguarding Leads if a child makes a disclosure or if you have any concerns about the safety or well-being of a child
Whilst on school premises, ALL visitors must not :
- instigate verbal or physical contact with pupils unless it is appropriate and a part of the agreed reason for your visit
- give any personal information to pupils (eg : phone number, email address, social media user names)
- use mobile phones
- take photographs, unless agreed with Windmill staff
Thank you for your co-operation and for supporting the school’s safeguarding procedures.
