Health and Safety
E-ACT aims to provide a safe and secure environment for our employees, visitors, students, and others who may visit our premises or use our facilities.
For our full Trust health and safety policy please visit the statutory policies ares of the E-ACT website.
Appendix 1 sets out the Academy staff structure and roles that have specific responsibility for the compliance to the E-ACT Health and Safety Policy. Details of specific responsibilities for health and safety can be obtained at our Academy reception and are classed as confidential.
SECURITY
The Academy has a modern and comprehensive fire detection system. Access to the main Academy buildings for staff, students and visitors is carefully monitored by the Reception team.
Identification badges and lanyards are issued to visitors and photo ID cards are also worn by all staff. The remainder of students in the Academy are identifiable by their Academy uniform.
School Nurse
Our school nurse is now offering 4 week support programmes for students experiencing mild difficulties. Parents and carers are invited to complete a referral and contact the service directly.
Please find here the criteria and the parental referral form. Please contact your child's Head of Year if you have any questions.

Warm Weather Protocols
Following the UK Government’s 'Beat the heat: staying safe in hot weather' guidance, we have taken several measures to mitigate any risks related to thermal discomfort.
Here's what we've implemented:
- Regular monitoring of weather reports to stay informed about temperature increases.
- Thermometers have been made available to monitor indoor temperatures effectively.
- Staff members are encouraged to report any concerns regarding temperatures promptly.
- We're utilising strategies such as keeping windows open in cooler times and blinds closed to create shade as needed.
- Additional fans have been distributed throughout the school.
- For lessons involving physical activities, such as PE, schedules may be adjusted or modified as necessary.
- Students will have access to the hall during break and lunch so that they can remain indoors.
- We will relax the uniform requirements to allow students to wear their PE kits during an Amber or Red alert.
- Drinking water is readily available throughout the day to ensure students remain hydrated.
- We may also switch to cold dinners only to prevent heat exhaustion in the catering team.
Your child's safety and well-being are our top priorities, and we remain committed to providing a comfortable learning environment as we navigate through the summer months.
