The DfES says:
“Every school will need to develop its own detailed policy on school security ...whoever
writes it will need to be informed by a
security survey of the school.”
“The head teacher is responsible for implementing the security policy agreed by the
governing body and for ensuring that there are specific
periodic surveys or risk assessments
of security arrangements and there are
regular routine security checks.”
