Fire safety statement

There have been media reports about our fire safety policy. We have issued the following statement.

"Our advice and guidance has been updated and changed.

We take the health and safety of our students and staff extremely seriously. All students are required to undertake a mandatory fire safety induction and this clearly states that all students should evacuate the building immediately, meeting at the designated fire assembly point.

Students are reminded that in gathering at the fire assembly point, they should adhere to social distancing guidelines."
