At St John’s we want staff and pupils to enjoy the sun safely. We work together with staff, pupils and parents/carers to achieve this through:
- School Responsibility
- We will talk about being safe in the sun in class and assemblies, when we get hot weather.
- We will tell parents/carers about what the school is doing about sun protection in newsletters during hot weather.
- We will provide cold water, water bottles and access to water as needed.
- The school has an ongoing plan to increase the number of shelters and shaded areas and review as necessary.
- Encourage parents/carers to apply sunscreen in the morning.
- If necessary sports day will have a break and drinks be provided.
- Children will not spend more than 30 minutes outside in hot weather. If it is too hot PE lessons can be shortened using teacher’s discretion and should include a cool down inside before changing.
- Parent/Carer Responsibility
- Parents/Carers should send children to school with sunhats.
- Parents/Carers should apply sunscreen before school.
- Parents/Carers should send children to school appropriately dressed.
