FIRE or EMERGENCY DRILL PROCEDURE
Please familiarise yourself with your nearest exit points to the Assembly Point (Outside the main entrance, on Haggerston Road) from every room in which you are teaching.
If the Fire Alarm goes off you MUST ensure that all children leave the room immediately and do not wait to collect their belongings. Everyone should move swiftly but ensure there is NO pushing or running. All doors should be closed, not locked, on leaving each room, to prevent the spread of fire.
The assembly point is outside the main entrance on Haggerston road, by the bridge and evacuation routes are given below.
IMPORTANT: Bring your Registers with you.
Upon reaching the assembly point ALL students will go to their class or colour-coded signing-in group. Please direct your students to their signing-in group. If their registration tutor has not yet arrived please keep them with you until their tutor arrives. If you are one of the designated registration tutors (below), your group sign is attached to these instructions and should remain in your folder.
All groups have more than one tutor assigned to them, one to be a static point, and one to rove and collect and direct stray students. The roving tutor should be the tutor that knows the group best (italicised in the list below). If you are unassigned, please assist by directing students to join their group.

PLEASE NOTE: Unless the Music Box is in session when the alarm goes off, we are not responsible for these students.
Once all the students you are working with at the time of the Drill/Emergency are accounted for, let the HMDT Staff know: Senior Manager or Projects Assistant.
If a student is missing let an HMDT Music Staff member know IMMEDIATELY.
Once all students have been accounted for and the Senior Manager has announced that you can re-enter the building, return with your students to your room. However, if the timing means you are now in a different room or your students should move to a different class, ensure they know where they are going before sending them to the appropriate place.
Specific tasks:
Senior Manager – Usher parent/carers out of the atrium through to the assembly point. Help to direct other students and parents/carers to the assembly point. Use sign-in sheets to cross check registers. Help to ensure that no-one leaves the premises.
SP Assistants – Check the staff room (collect any registers) and then sweep the buildings (rooms, stairs, toilets), communicating with Schools Plus staff when each area has been checked. Leave by the fire escape and go to check tutors have every student accounted for.
