How safe is Cohort?

Cohort is very safe. The front door is only unlocked when reception is staffed and if the school your child is travelling with has the whole hostel to themselves (this is always the case with primary schools) then the front door is kept locked the entire time. With primary schools, pupils are unable to leave the building without an adult.

All dorm rooms / bedrooms are lockable with each student issued their own key. In the case of primary schools all bedrooms are kept unlocked except for staff bedrooms. Teachers can also request keycard access to the children’s rooms if necessary. We have safeguarding policies in place and adhere to a high level of health & safety.
