As a college we value the importance of
extracurricular opportunities and we have a
comprehensive programme of competitive
sporting fixtures throughout the year.

Parents/Carers and relations are encouraged
to come and support college matches, but for
the purpose of safeguarding we ask that the following procedures are followed:

● Spectators must sign in at the main College Reception and identify themselves with a suitable form of
ID (eg credit card, driving licence etc);

● Spectators will be given a ‘Parent Pass’ which must be worn at all times;
● Spectators will be escorted to the pitch and must not enter any other areas of the College, at any

time, other than when going back to the main Reception to sign out;
● Spectators are only permitted to use the visitor toilet in the main Reception;
● Spectators are expected to show their support in a positive and respectful way;
● Spectators must go straight to Reception at the end of the match and sign out.

Many thanks for your cooperation and we look forward to another year of sporting success at Uckfield
College.
