Due to Health and Safety reasons dogs are not allowed anywhere on the School grounds.
We regret we are also unable to accommodate children's pushchairs within School buildings due to the need for infection control. Visitors bringing pushchairs onto the campus will be requested to leave them outside Main Reception or by the School gates and do so at their own risk. School is unable to accept responsibility for loss or damage to pushchairs while left on the campus.
