Current students

We take your safety as a resident in student halls seriously. Our accommodation always meets the latest regulations.

Fire safety

We take our residents’ safety very seriously, and you might be aware there have been recent changes to Fire Safety Regulations in high-rise buildings affecting many student accommodation properties in the UK.

In 2025/26 there will be a schedule of fire safety improvement works conducted throughout our halls of residence, focusing on updating fire doors and other fire safety aspects in communal areas including lift lobbies, corridors and kitchens.

Vine Court, Philharmonic Court and Dover Court will also have some external works carried out: there will be scaffolding surrounding all three properties. Further information will be provided on this to residents who will be impacted with this work, however we expect disruption to be minimal.

You will receive more information from your Halls Team about when this work is due at your hall, however we expect minimal disruption to you as our residents. 

Our buildings and systems already meet all safety requirements, this is just part of our ongoing efforts to keep our accommodation in top condition. There is no risk to residing in the building; this is a long-term precaution to ensure the building continues to be compliant to updates in regulations.   

Policies

We want all of our students to enjoy their time with us. To ensure your safety and security, we have in place certain policies and procedures that residents should be aware of.

Due to the diverse nature of our halls, each has produced a specific document, detailing things such as fire evacuation procedures and staff contact details.
