Broughton Moor Primary School has written risk assessments for safety on our school grounds. Our fencing, gates and EYFS gate area have control measures in place to keep children safe. These can be viewed by contacting school for a copy. Our Headteacher does a morning sweep of the grounds every day before children arrive to check for any rubbish or dangerous items that can be found after community use during evenings and weekends. We tape off any areas if they require additional measures for a temporary period of time. All outdoor equipment has a visual check and logs are kept of these checks with any defects acted on immediately.
We ask that parents awaiting to drop their children off in the morning and collect after school do not allow any child/toddler to play around the staff car park or in the bushes directly outside the hall entrance/exit for safety of everyone. Any cars that are damaged due to parents allowing children to play in out of bound areas may be charged for the damage.
We expect all families/staff and visitors to ensure they close every gate behind them in line with our clear signage.
During the day we ask visitors and parents to access the school site through the main entrance as the other entrances are locked.

Broughton Moor Primary School has the right to withdraw the offer of a placement in the event of receiving applicable adverse information.
