Your responsibilities when hiring a school venue
When you hire a Schools Plus venue, you are using facilities that pupils and staff rely on every school day. These responsibilities help keep the spaces safe, clean and ready for school.
Six responsibilities for venue hirers
Keeping school facilities safe and ready for use
Take Responsibility for Your Group
You are responsible for your group and any spectators. Look out for your guests, maintain respectful behaviour, and follow requests or instructions from the school staff on site.
Leave it Ready for School Tomorrow
Pupils and staff use these facilities during the school day. Please leave the facilities exactly as you found them.
Get Kit & Vehicles Pre-Approved
Planning to bring extra equipment or vehicles onto the school grounds? Please make sure that this is explicitly cleared and specified in your booking beforehand. School sites have strict layout, power, and access limits, so we need to make sure your setup is safe and permitted. Please remove all equipment when you leave.
Food & Drink
To keep the surfaces clean and safe, food and drink can only be consumed in certain locations. Check the details of each facility before booking, or ask us if you are unsure.
Play Your Part
This is a school first and foremost. We maintain a zero-tolerance policy for any dangerous, abusive, offensive, or hateful behaviour. In addition, smoking and drugs are strictly forbidden by law. By stepping onto school grounds, you join our team in keeping this a safe, protected, and welcoming environment for young people.
Respect Your Booked Space and Time
Please stick strictly to your booked facility and your permitted time slots. Treat the facility and the school with the care it deserves, and it will continue to be there for you and for everyone else for many years into the future.
Our shared promise
We know accidents happen.
If your group accidentally causes damage or leaves a mess, we'll ask you to cover the professional cleaning or repair costs to make it right for the school.
Thank you for helping us care for school facilities.
