SMOKING POLICY: Please be informed that with immediate effect it is now NOT permitted to smoke at the front entrance of School nearby Reception and the Library. The majority of ashtrays will be removed and ‘No smoking’ signs displayed until deemed necessary. This action has been taken for many reasons most notably that the impression given to all visitors, staff and students when seeing smokers at the entrance to School is not in line with that expected and seen in the hospitality industry.
