As a school we trialled today, for one day only all the pupils having the opportunity of integrating together at lunchtime play on what is the Junior playground and field area. If you are a parent/carer of the school we would very much welcome your feedback on this as a concept and encourage you to chat with your child as to how they feel it worked for them today.
We have been very pleased with the behaviour of the pupils since we introduced the Positive Behaviour Strategy and Young Play Leaders. We have felt that this has cultivated along with other initiatives a family atmosphere amongst the pupils of the school and broken down the traditional barrier of infants and juniors. All the children were briefed in both the Monday and Tuesday assembly about the whole school lunchtime play: where they could go; who would be supervising them and the boundaries on both the field and playground. Year 6 pupils performed the role of monitors today to help aid the trial and overall we were very pleased with how it operated.
If you are a parent/carer of the school and would like to complete a short survey on our trial today, then we encourage you to download the document below. The same survey will be completed by pupils with class teachers over the course of the next week. If you wish to make any other comments, please attach them to the form - or e-mail the school separately if you feel this is more appropriate.
