School bell

We have reduced the number of school bells throughout the school day. The bell is very loud, it has to be as it is also our fire alarm bell and must be a certain volume in order to meet the fire safety requirements. Since we had our new bell points, we have found them to be quite piercing and loud for children and staff and this year in particular some of our youngest children have been quite frightened by the noise, causing unnecessary upset throughout the day. We now only use the bells at the end of lunchtime and playtime when the children are on the playground as a signal to come stop and line up.

We ask for your patience as we all get used to the new routine of using our classroom clocks to keep us on track throughout the day, including at the end of the school day.

Thank you

Mrs Lyall
