You may not be aware but the upgrade of the park (Fraser Park) beside the school is underway. A King Swing is in the process of installation and a trampoline was installed yesterday.
This is obviously great for our kids and very exciting to them, however it does have some potential risks which we all need to discuss with the children.
Before school this morning, a number of children were playing on the trampoline, and so did not come into the school grounds. Please be aware that we are not responsible for pupils or their safety before they actually arrive at school. Pupils need to report to breakfast club from 8:10 or to the playground from 8:30. If pupils do not come to school but instead stop and play in the park en-route, we are making you aware that their safety and wellbeing remains the responsibility of home until they enter breakfast club or supervised playground.
We would not presume to tell you what is appropriate for your own children, however we would encourage you to discuss this with your children and ensure they understand what your expectations are for their route to school; coming direct to the school or if they are permitted to play en-route. We all have the wellbeing of the children at heart and want them to be happy and safe.
warm regards,
Steven Eagleson
Headteacher
