Observing Safety on School Grounds 

• For the safety of all pedestrians and users, scooters, bicycles, and skateboards must not be ridden on the school site—this applies to both adults and children. Please ensure that everyone dismounts before entering the school gates. Bikes and scooters should be stored securely in the designated bike shed areas.

• Additionally, dogs are not permitted on the school premises, whether walked or carried. Please do not tie dogs to school fences, gates, or within the grounds at any time. This is for the welfare of your pet and the safety of your children.

• Children should not run between the freshly cut hedges and school building, as the ground is uneven and the office windows are ajar which may cause an injury at head/eye level.

• Children should not play on school equipment before or after school.

Smart Device Free School

This is a reminder for all parents that children are not permitted smartphones or smart devices (such as smart watches, personal ipads etc).  Please look to our Smartdevice Free policy on the website.
