School field and play equipment use after school16 May 2025 (by admin) |
Dear Families,
The use of our school field and playground equipment is not for the use of children after school, unless being supervised by school staff for a club etc.
It is not acceptable for this rule to be overlooked by parents who feel confident in supervising their own children. Our risk assessments and public liability insurance cover does not permit such use.
We ask for your support to enforce this rule, as we do not have staffing numbers to monitor continually such areas - so we would appreciate any reminders you can give to other parents (that you are friends with) to make everyone aware.
It is worth pointing out as well that only children from Year 3 upwards are risk assessed to use the large climbing frame during supervised school time by staff - so seeing younger children, including pre-school aged siblings be encouraged to use such equipment by parents is putting them at a higher risk of serious injury.
We thank you in advance for your understanding on this matter and please pass this message on to any grandparents that may do pick up for you.
With kind regards,
Coopersale and Theydon Garnon C.E. Primary School
