The Houseparent, tutor or duty staff member should have the building cleared with reference to the House (in/out board) or attendance list.
The fire brigade will be informed automatically by the alarm system. The students present are to gather in their Primary Evacuation Point near the building (account also for Houseparent families), should the incident require students are moved further from the building a Secondary Evacuation Point is designated. If a return to the building is not practical the Houseparent, tutor or duty staff member should take students to the Secondary Evacuation Point and await further instruction
The senior staff member should inform the Director of Estates / Deputy Bursar - Operations of the occurrence of the alarm and of the successful evacuation of the building. In the case of fire the Houseparent, tutor or duty staff member should inform the duty member of the School Council.

It is vital that students and staff take all reasonable safety precautions when crossing the road. Students should use the steps en route to and from Clairmont, Delaware, St Louis and Le Cerf, Villars and Chesières. The ramp leading to and from Belvedere car park is not to be used for pedestrians. All members of the Aiglon community are expected to respect the cantonal rules about using road crossings appropriately. The marked road pedestrian crossings must be used at all times.
The barriers at the bottom of the steps and the adjoining grass slope, as well as the drive connecting the campus and the street should be kept clear at all times. Students should not sit on the road verges, the drive or the barriers.
Bicycles, Motor Vehicles and Accepting Lifts No student, with or without a driver’s licence, may drive a motor-powered vehicle during term time at school. No student may accept lifts in vehicles from members of the public, former students, relatives or anyone other than parents or authorised members of staff, without prior permission from House staff. Bicycles are not normally permitted except for specific CAS activities.
When using school minibuses, all passengers must wear the seat belts provided and must remain seated while the vehicle is in motion. Drivers should make this clear to passengers at the beginning of every trip, however short, and personally check safety belts. It is important for the safety of everyone in the vehicle that the driver (or another driver in the vicinity) is not distracted.
Aiglon operates a security camera system to protect its campus, infrastructure and the students in our care. This system is controlled through the relevant policy document that can be found in the School's policy manual. The policy manual is available on request.
