HEADMASTER’S NOTES

1) Very sorry to hear of incident. Not only complaint this term.

2) Police, who were called by the school when child reported incident, identified older pupil responsible for the theft due to good description given by the victim. Phone has been returned, undamaged.

3) Underpass known to be hazardous - used by many pupils, but plans for it include:

In the short term:

• Better lighting.

• An adult supervising underpass at peak times, 8.00 - 9.00 am and 3.30 - 4.30 pm. Possibly use retired school porter who would welcome part time work.

In the longerterm:

• Pressure on council to proceed with plans suggested two years ago for proper footbridge over the road.

• Further representations to suggest that children under 13 should all qualify for free bus passes to take the bus right into the school grounds; only pupils living morę than 3 miles from school are offered this currently.
