Safety:

You will be allocated a named teacher.YOU MUST stay with your allocated teacher at all times whilst travelling on the tube. Do not board a train unless yourallocated teacher has instructed you. It may be necessary for us to travel separately in small groups on overcrowded trains.

Tube stations can be dangerous when crowded. You must be particularly careful to listen for instructions. Do not cross the yellow line on the platform.

If you become separated from the main group do not panic. Continue to the destination tube station if possible, then follow the way out sign and ask for help from the station staff. You should ask to telephone the school mobile number.

School mobile number for emergencies only: 07813 478531

Remember that mobiles don’t work underground, so be patient and a member of staff will come back for you!
