Parents / carers bringing dogs into school grounds at drop off and pick up times

Parents / carers bringing dogs into school grounds at drop off and pick up times

We recognise that dogs are an important part of family life for many in the school community, and as such are often included in day‐to‐day activities such as walking children to and from school. However, others may find the presence of dogs in the playground and school grounds stressful, even frightening particularly with younger children. Even well‐behaved dogs can behave unpredictably when placed in a busy, noisy and crowded environment. Therefore school policy is that no dogs (apart from assistance dogs) are allowed on school premises (either on a lead or carried).  We would appreciate your co-operation by not bringing your pet to school.

Thank you
