New Tannoy System at WR
Over the summer we installed a new tannoy system at WR so we now have speakers both inside and outside the building. We will use this for a number of purposes:
- As part of our safeguarding to ensure everyone can hear if we need to have a lockdown (this is like a fire alarm but instead of being out of the building, everyone is inside).
- To aid consistent time keeping across the site.
- To allow us to start the day with music, we hope to play songs from a wide range of composers & artists which Mrs. Churchill will follow up in school. This will hopefully broaden your child’s exposure and familiarity; we will display the composer’s details outside and put it in the bulletin so everyone is aware.
- It will enable us to make announcements (infrequent but important ones), particularly at PTA events.
We will be starting by introducing a bell and a lesson change tune from next week. The children have already been told about the changes, but we wanted you to be aware as the morning bell will now come through the external speakers. Hopefully everything will work smoothly but there may be a few teething problems . . . we’ll have the hand bell available on standby!
