Use of the Fitness Trail and Trim Trail:

Parent/Carers MUST make sure they supervise their children on the trails before or after school as the responsibility for maintaining their safety would lie with them before 8:55am and after school closes.

We strongly suggest that pupils and their siblings do NOT play on the equipment before or after school - thank you.

 

Dogs are not allowed to enter onto any of the school grounds - this includes the driveway.

 

Thank you for working in partnership with school to make sure the start and end of day is as safe and smooth as possible.
