AMPLEFORTH COLLEGE

HIGHER EDUCATION,

CAREERS CONFERENCE

and

GAP YEAR FAIR

Friday 10th March 2017

INTRODUCTION AND WELCOME As always, we are delighted to have so many students, including 200 visitors from other

schools, taking part in our annual Higher Education and Careers Conference. We do hope

that you all learn a great deal from the seminars in the morning and from the exhibitions in

the afternoon and that this will be the first step on your way to a successful Higher Education

application later this year. The important thing is that you get the advice and information

you want out of the event. To that end, we would encourage you to:

a) Make notes from the seminars you attend – it will be difficult to remember the main

points otherwise.

b) Visit a range of stands at the HE Fair. This is your opportunity to find out more

details about courses or universities which interest you, especially if you do not attend

the related seminar in the morning.

c) Ask questions towards the end of the seminars and at the HE Fair this afternoon – the

experts will be only too pleased to help.

There is no fire practice scheduled on the day of the Conference. Should the fire alarm

sound, all present will be directed to fire exits and evacuated to a place of safety by duty fire

wardens. We request, therefore, that visitors do not move beyond the rooms and areas of the

school in which the Conference is taking place.

Lastly, and in some ways most importantly, our sincere thanks go to the universities’ Schools

Liaison Teams, and to the large number of visitors from those universities and organisations

who have given up their valuable time to come and lead seminars and answer questions at

the HE Fair. Without their support, this event would not be possible.

GENERAL SAFETY

Vehicles

Please respect at all times the 10mph speed

limit.

Fire

Please evacuate the building you are in if

the fire alarm sounds. In most areas, a duty

Fire Warden will direct you to a place of

safety, but there are buildings which will

be open in which they will be no duty Fire

Warden, in which circumstance please

follow the signs which direct you to the

nearest fire exit. There are no tests of alarm

systems planned during the HEC, so please

treat any alarm as a real emergency. If you

discover a fire, please activate the alarm at

the nearest signposted fire point and leave

the building immediately. Do not re-enter

until you are informed by a Fire Warden

that it is safe to do so.

First Aid

We have nominated first aiders present at

the conference. Please contact one of the

HEC team who will be able to assist. The

nearest first aid box is located at Reception

and the nearest defibrillator is located by

the disabled toilets just off Main Hall. In

the event of a serious medical emergency,

please dial 999 or (9)999 from an internal

phone, give details and request an

ambulance before contacting the HEC

team.

Dogs

Dogs are welcome on site, on a lead,

providing they are kept to public rights of

way. Owners must ensure that any dog

waste is picked up and placed in the dog

waste bins provided or removed from

site. Dogs are not allowed inside

buildings, other than assistance dogs.
