The postcode for sat nav is CB21 6AN. The Perse Rose General Principles of Fire Safety
The following guidelines must be followed to prevent a fire occurring on site and to ensure the safety of pupils in the event of emergency evacuation.
• Pupils must familiarise themselves with the fire escape routes from the classrooms in which they are taught, to the fire assembly point (a plan showing this route is displayed in each room). • Pupils must familiarise themselves with the fire evacuation procedure (see below).
• Smoking is not allowed on or around the school site.
• Fire doors are kept closed (i.e. not propped open with bags or wedges).
• Fire escapes routes and exit doors are kept clear and free from obstruction (including pupil bags).
• Fire fighting equipment (fire extinguishers, blankets) is free from obstruction.
What to do if you discover a fire • Raise the alarm by operating the nearest break glass point – these are usually found adjacent to fire exits. • Follow the evacuation procedure. • Please note fire fighting equipment is only to be used by trained members of staff.
What to do if the fire alarms are activated (evacuation procedure) • Leave the building by the nearest safe exit. • Do not stop to collect belongings. Useful Info • Go to the fire assembly point and line up with your form. • Wait quietly for the roll call to be taken. • Do not re-enter the buildings until instructed to do so.
