You must conduct a fire risk assessment
Your risk assessment must cover the whole of your premises, including outdoor locations and any rooms or areas that are rarely used.
This is one of your statutory requirements for fire safety.
Who's responsible for the assessment?
The employer for your school is responsible for fire safety, as is anyone with control over the premises (such as the building manager) – both are known as the 'responsible person'. Responsible persons are expected to work together to meet their responsibilities.
This is explained on page 5 of the government’s guidance on fire safety risk assessment for educational premises.
