‘This followed an incident (on November 26) that involved an assault by people from outside the school. This measure adds another layer of care and safety to the wellbeing of our students as they leave the school. ‘We are taking a tough stand on poor behaviour and will not tolerate unkind or rude behaviour from a very few students.
‘The vast majority of our students are delightful and well-behaved young people, and we know that most parents support us in our work to ensure that the highest standards of behaviour and welfare are in place.
‘The welfare of our students and our staff is a key priority and this measure provides reassurance to our school community.’
