Class visits - what we expect of you

Security

In order to meet the security conditions of the site, we need you to hand in a list of the names of each person in the group (including teachers) on your arrival at the Education Centre.

Health & Safety

Our priority is the safety of pupils and teachers.
Teachers must make the following Key Quality and Safety Standards & Behaviours clear to all members of the visiting group:

    KEY QUALITY AND SAFETY STANDARDS & BEHAVIOURS

  • Chewing gum and food are not allowed on site.
  • Any stomach upset/ gastro-intestinal disorder in the 48 hours before your visit must be declared on arrival.
  • Always hold the handrails on the staircases and take one step at a time. Walk; do not run whilst on site.
  • All visitors should wear suitable, covered footwear (i.e. not heels, open shoes or sandals).
  • Jewellery is restricted.
  • Clothing - the factory tour route is on an elevated walkway overlooking the production hall. We advise women to wear suitable clothing e.g. trousers or a skirt of suitable length.
  • Education Centre Managers will greet each group upon arrival at the centre and will collect the group from your coach. The teacher in charge will be required to sign a form to indicate that all members of the group have fully complied with these Key Quality & Safety Standards requirements. Visitors who do not comply will not be allowed to enter the Education Centre.
  • Very occasionally, embarrassment and disappointment on the day of the visit is caused as a result of Key Quality & Safety Standards and Behaviours not being fully explained to a class group in advance of a visit.
  • Please be aware that production programmes at all operational plants of CCE Ltd. are subject to variation, and as a result of this, it may be necessary on some occasions to alter at short notice the arrangements and dates of particular visits or visitors may not see full production.

    BOOKING & PREPARATION TO VISIT

  • Booking & Cancellation

    • Please book as early as possible
    • Unfortunately we cannot accept provisional bookings.
    • Bookings should only be treated as 'confirmed' when a confirmation email has been received from the Centre.
    • Teachers should ensure that every part of the visit has the necessary approval from the school before a booking is requested.
    • Please note that groups that cancel at short notice will not be re-booked.

  • Before Visiting the Centre

    • We expect that all visiting students are studying the topic requested, so that they will understand the session content.
    • Teachers should ensure that students come prepared with questions and specific learning objectives in order to get the most out of their time with us.

  • Pupil Behaviour

    • The Education Centre is on a manufacturing site; disruption and misbehaviour are unacceptable and could be a dangerous to students and staff. Teachers should consider this, when selecting which pupils will visit the Centre.
    • Teachers are responsible for behaviour and discipline of the class group. Please make sure that the visiting group does not disrupt our personnel working in the factory.
