CAMPUS AND FACILITIES
ALLERGY AND
FOOD POLICY
Wellington College International Early Years
Centre recognises that although most food
intolerances produce symptoms that are
uncomfortable, some people can suffer
a severe food allergy with more serious
consequences and in some instances these
may even be life threatening. A number of
pupils in the school have severe or moderate
allergies to a range of foods and substances.
The Early Years Centre therefore strives
to be a nut-free environment and aims to
ensure that none of the food provided or
served within the setting contain nuts. The
caterers do not serve nut-based foods or
use nut oils in any of the food preparation.
To minimise the risk of incidents, we request
that no external food is brought onto site.
Children are provided with snacks and lunch
throughout the day, therefore we kindly
request that children are fed outside of
the premises.
Where there are special events, and
parents are sending food into the centre,
they should read the ingredients labels fully
before sending in any item. If this requires
Chinese-to-English translation, we ask that
parents do this to avoid nut traces entering
the school premises.
As with any large institution, it is impossible
to monitor 100% of the foods on site at any
time; at special events attended by pupils this
becomes increasingly difficult. Therefore,
discretion is advised to all pupils and families
to monitor what they eat in circumstances on
the occasions where the cannot guarantee
100% food safety.
PARKING SPACES
Public parking spaces for parents of pupils
can be found outside of the Early Years
Centre. There are no parking spaces within
the setting itself.
28
FIRE DRILL
The fire drill evacuation plan is displayed in
each classroom. In the event of a fire alarm,
pupils will be escorted from their classrooms
or learning spaces by their teachers to a
central assembly point where registers will
be taken.
LOST AND FOUND
Lost and found is located at reception. Staff
and pupils are expected to respect the
property of the school and of others, and to
take all reasonable measures to safeguard this
property and their own personal items they
bring to school.
Pupils are encouraged to take responsibility
for their belongings in school and we kindly
request that all items of clothing and bags
should are properly labelled, and everyone
should check that he or she has the right
belongings. If your child does bring home the
wrong belongings, please ensure it gets back
to the main reception as quickly as possible,
so that we can return it to the rightful owner.
SAFE
SURROUNDINGS
AND SECURITY
Security is a high priority and security guards
are located in the school premises to enforce
procedures. Every person coming in to the
campus, except pupils wearing the Wellington
College International Shanghai uniform, is
required to wear an approved adult pass at
all times.
Visitors without an approved adult pass
(including anyone who has forgotten their
pass) are required to register with security. To
gain entrance to the school, they must lodge
a form of photo identification (Chinese ID
card, passport, driver's licence etc.) with the
security guards in exchange for a temporary
pass. The identification will be held securely
by the guards for the duration of the visit and
returned upon departure from the campus.
