I am writing to inform you that we will be practising a critical incident drill on Wednesday 26^th January 2022 .

What is a critical incident drill and when would we carry it out?

A critical incident drill is a standard health and safety procedure, similar to a fire drill.

This procedure would be used when there is a threat to the safety of pupils, staff and others in the school, and when it is safer for everyone to remain in school than evacuate. The aim is to keep people safe by confining them to a secure place of safety.

Situations where our lockdown procedure may be used include:

• A potentially dangerous person or animal on the school site
• A dangerous situation in the local community that could affect the school
• A nearby chemical incident or other risk of air pollution
• An incident related to terrorism

Please be reassured that there is no immediate risk of a critical incident and that the procedure is simply being practised on Wednesday 26^th January to ensure pupil and staff know what to do should a real critical incident occur.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the adjustments made to the formal examinations which pupils would usually sit at the end of a school year, we have put together some information around the processes we follow in school to assess your children.

This letter outlines how we assess, how we formulate target grades, as well as outlining what is expected in terms of attendance and attitude to learning. The letter should support the understanding of the school reports you will receive this term.
