3.3 Early Years Outside Areas
As pupils require access to the outside areas at all times the governors have ensured that a secure
outside area has been provided that has a suitable perimeter fence at least 4ft high. This has fixings
that prevent an early years pupil opening the gate to exit this area without adult supervision.
Where this area is adjacent to where members of the public have unsupervised access consideration
has been given to improved fencing where required. The extent of fences will be decided by risk
assessment.
