HEALTH & SAFETY MATTERS

 

Throughout their time at Tain Royal Academy we impress on the pupils that health and safety does indeed matter. The following issues are highlighted in the homework diary issued to all pupils and are emphasised throughout the session.

Corridors                  Keep to the left and do not run.

Stairs                       Keep to the left and do not push as a slip here could lead to a serious injury.

Car parks/cycling       Pupils must not take short cuts through the car parks and all cyclists must dismount when they come through the school gate.

Buses                          Pupils are expected to wear seat belts at all times and do nothing that will distract the driver. Pupils who misbehave may lose the right to travel on school transport for a time.

Snowballing                Grit and ice can cause serious injuries and for that reason snowballing is not allowed anywhere near school gates, paths, doorways and the tarred areas of the school.

Out of school              Pupils who are out of school grounds at anytime, including lunchtime, must not do anything which puts at risk the health and safety of fellow pupils or any members of the general public with whom they come in contact.

Anti-social behaviour Any form of anti-social behaviour eg smoking, spitting, swearing, physical/ verbal aggression will not be accepted.

Alcohol/drug abuse     The consequence for any form of alcohol or drug abuse, whether during the school day or at a school function, is exclusion from school.
