School Layout and Site Safety

The school’s entrance for pupils and parents is on the corner of Whitchurch Road and Pentyrch Street. The school gates are opened at 8.50am and locked again at 9am when access is via the electronic entry system by the school office. Gates are unlocked at the end of the school day, for parents to gain access. For the safety of visitors, staff and pupils ALL VISITORS TO THE SCHOOL MUST REPORT TO THE SCHOOL OFFICE. Visitors will be asked to sign an electronic log and a pass will be issued.

There are a number of CCTV cameras in operation around the outside perimeter of the school directed at the entrances to ensure additional site security. The cameras operate 24 hours per day. 

E-Safety

As part of pupils’ curriculum enhancement and the development of ICT skills, Cardiff Primary schools provide supervised access to the Internet including e-mail. We take positive steps to deal with the risk of access to undesirable materials in school. Our Internet access provider operates a filtering system that restricts access and we enclose references to information on safe Internet access that may be of use at home where restrictions may not apply.
