Facility Lettings
Facilities available for hire
The Earls High School has a number of facilities for clubs and individuals to hire. Facilities are available for hire throughout term time including weekends (with the exception of Bank Holidays) from 6.00pm–9.00pm Monday – Thursday, 6.00 pm – 8.00pm Friday and 9.00am–6.00 pm Saturday and Sunday. Requests for bookings outside of these times will be considered on a case by case basis.
Individual bookings for a one-off event or block bookings are available and will be confirmed and accepted on receipt of a completed booking pack. Payment for hire is made in advance unless credit terms have been agreed and will be requested by invoice.
NB: School events will take priority over external bookings. However, where a booking coincides with school events, clubs/individuals will be given as much notice as possible, and we will endeavour to make alternative arrangements to minimise any inconvenience.
Safeguarding
The safety of young people on our site is our upmost priority. We meet our duties outlined in Keeping Children Safe in Education (KCSIE 2023) by ensuring that any hirer who works with children meets the guidance for out of school settings. Clubs and Individuals looking to hire our facilities must inform us who their Designated Safeguarding Lead is and ensure that all relevant training is up to date. If we receive alegations about staff using our facilities to run activities, we will folow our own safeguarding procedures, including informing the Local Authority Designated Officer (LADO).
