PLAYING AT THE PARK BEFORE AND AFTER SCHOOL

Dear Parents and Carers,

unfortunately there have been numerous complaints regarding the behaviour of a number of children from our school who are at the park unsupervised.

As the children are in their school uniform, the school Behaviour & Exclusions Policy can be applied.

In addition, children aged 10 years of age or above are deemed to be ‘criminally responsible’.

I have spoken to the children in year 5 and 6 today regarding this.

I have explained that whilst in uniform they are effectively advertising our school.

I explained the seriousness of this negative behaviour.

I also explained that the message does not apply to all of the upper KS2 children but as so many of the children visit the park, it was important to talk to all of the children.

I hope that the situation, with your support, will now improve.

Thank you for your support.

Kind regards

Kim Huggett
