Corridor Rule:

Further to concerns voiced during recent Pupil Council meetings and subsequent discussion with the Senior

Leadership Team please note:

When moving between classes and/or social areas pupils, whenever possible, should always keep to the left.

This is important as it reduces congestion.

This includes keeping to the left at the atrium stairs.
