We have NOT had a lockdown, but we are required to inform parents what our procedures are! I hope that this will not cause anyone any anxiety by over thinking things.
A school lockdown is when there is a need to secure all pupils and staff in school because of an external threat. This treat could be environmental (if there is some sort of gas leak or smoke being emitted), a physical threat (someone nearby issuing a physical threat) or other risks (such as an aggressive dog being loose).
There might be a partial lockdown, when external doors are locked and children are kept inside but learning continues. Or a full lockdown, when, when external and internal doors are locked and children are asked to sit in a safe place within the classroom - this would be different depending on if the threat was internal or external.
We are required to practice lockdowns. We do this sensitively, as we do not wish to scare our pupils. We generally use the example of a dog being loose and we do not know if it is going to be aggressive or not.
If your child tells you that they have been required to huddle together in the classroom quietly, it will be that we had a practice!
We are seeking a Parent Governor to join our board. We are fortunate that our existing Parent Governor, who no longer has a child at Thorogate School, has agreed to be co-opted as an additional Governor and remain on the board.
As a Parent Governor, you bring the perspective of a parent to the board's strategic decision making. This is a key viewpoint to ensure that Thorogate School continues to service its community well.
A common misconception is that you will have to represent individual parents concerns and issues. This is not the case. Parents need to follow normal procedures, such as contacting their child's classteacher or, if required, contacting the school's headteacher.
Please read the document below. Consider the role or discuss it with another parent whom you think would make a great Parent Governor. At the end of the document is the form that needs to be completed and returned to Mrs Stone in the school's office by noon of Wednesday 18th March 2026.
You are welcome to contact Mr Barnett to discuss the role.
