Pupil Activity out of School

During the coming year your child may have the opportunity to take part in after school curricular/sporting activities, some of which may involve competitions against other schools. Such activities will probably involve travelling to another school. Where activities are undertaken after school, full details will be given to the individual pupils involved prior to the event or fixture, usually verbally by the lead teacher. This will include information relating to where pupils will be going, the activity/sport undertaken, what they will need and the expected time back at school.

The school also organises a number of routine visits and journeys away from the school site, as part of the children's learning experiences. Such visits take place during the school session times and tend to be local within the Barnsley area. Visits and journeys during the school day are always an extension to their classroom activities. Such activities are always approved by the Headteacher and present no significant risk to the health and safety of the pupils, and follow the Local Authority's guidance.

If you are happy for your child to participate in these routine activities then you need take no action, however, if you do not wish your child to participate, please contact Reception.
