Fire Alarm response and lessons learned

We do not typically practise what we experienced today as it results in children losing out on their dinners. However, what happened today led to us identifying a number of issues with such an evacuation procedure.

Firstly, we did not know what the cause of the alarm was, other than it was linked to the nursery building. It was necessary to evacuate whilst this was investigated.

• THE MUSTER POINT IS THE SCHOOL FIELD – NOT PLAYGROUNDS. This is because we have to get away from the building in case of danger – fire/explosion/etc. For some unknown reason, some classes did not do what we have always practised. It does not matter if it is muddy or wet. This is less of a risk than being next to the building.
• Headcounts of pupils must be taken ONCE THEY HAVE ARRIVED AT THE MUSTER POINT. As always, Fire Marshals are sweeping the building and will be sending out any who are in toilets. Classes must not wait by the building until they have gathered pupils – this increased the time taken to reach a safe exit.

We will revisit what to do with fire registers as this was also not helpful during the dinner hour. 

Thank you for your support in managing what was an unexpected challenge.
