Health & Safety Accreditation

Woodbridge High School Scoops Top Award for Safety Excellence!

Woodbridge High School has been recognised by The National Safety Certification Scheme for Schools, known as SafetyMARK, as having ‘excellent’ health and safety standards.

The SafetyMARK scheme aims to provide guidance for schools and to recognise and reward those schools that have gone the extra mile to create a safe environment for staff, pupils, visitors and contractors. After a rigorous recent independent audit, the school was able to demonstrate that it has first class levels of safety management and compliance and, in doing so, achieved the SafetyMARK award for excellence.

Mr Justin Smith of SafetyMARK stated:

“Woodbridge has a really positive attitude with regard to health and safety. It is clear to see that safety is taken extremely seriously and that it is very well managed. The staff have established a robust health and safety system and culture that is amongst the best in the country and we are delighted to recognise that fact with this prestigious award.”

Mr Frank Gordon, School Business Manager and Health & Safety Co-ordinator at the school, commented:

“We are thrilled to be recognised with the SafetyMARK award. We take the safety of our staff and pupils extremely seriously, and it is wonderful to have this recognition for all our efforts to make our school such a safe place to work and study. Having achieved the SafetyMARK award, we can demonstrate our on-going commitment to maintaining excellence in the management of health and safety within our school.”
