We are very conscious of the need for effective security at Courtland.  The Governors have sought the advice and guidance of the Local Education Authority, security firms and the local Police as to the various security procedures appropriate to our School.

The Secretary’s office, is at the front of the building so that visitors to the School are seen as they approach the main entrance.  The front doors are fitted with a keypad security lock and there is an intercom system for visitors. 

There is security lighting to the front and rear of the School.  

There are large steel gates at the back of the school.  Once the children are in school in the morning, these are locked with a security padlock.

Some doors and windows to the rear of the building were replaced in 2002.  The fire alarm system was improved at the same time. A new Alarm system has been installed which is monitored by the Police.

There are telephone extensions on the Infant corridor and upstairs.  There is also an emergency call alarm system.

The Staff and Governors are constantly looking at further measures to improve security in the School.
