Drinks and Meals in the canteen – feedback fr from forms

A number of reps requested that drinks be re-introduced to the canteen. Some felt the substitutes in the meal deal were not good enough, others talked about problems when students forget their water bottles. We are awaiting feedback from a meeting SLT had with the catering service. Students are keen to have larger portion sizes and alternatives to crackers as part of the meal deal if no water is available. A number of students want to see drinks offered again for any students that do forget their water bottle. We will raise this with SLT - this will be raised again as a concern

Safety in school

Last half term students had asked what would happen if there was a serious incident/emergency at school and we discussed this in depth. This week we discussed the training which takes place at the start of each academic year with staff and with new staff to ensure that they are aware of the schools safeguarding procedures.

The School Council are completing a school travel survey for the borough. This will help the borough identify priorities in planning transport and travel

• issues. Our primary school will also be completing the survey

Reps will be asking tutors groups for feedback on the following questions which we will discuss next week. Current feedback is

• Safer crossing is needed opposite Barking Park between the two bus stops
• Traffic control measures around the school particularly at the start and the

end of the day with concerns raised about the number of learner drivers. We will be discussing this next week

Sc School l Travel l pla lan 1) What are the top three travel issues facing pupils/ staff/ parents and residents during the school run 2) ) What action, if any, has already been taken, or intend to take, to try to solve these issues? What could or should be done?
