Dogs on School Site

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, we recognise that the presence of dogs in the school grounds can be stressful and frightening particularly with younger children, and even well‐behaved dogs can behave unpredictably when placed in a busy, noisy and crowded environment. Therefore school policy is that no dogs are allowed on school premises (either on a lead or carried).

Only service dogs – and dogs attending the site to provide an educational experience to pupils – are permitted on the school site. No dog should be on the school site without the approval of the Headteacher, and written confirmation that the dog is authorised to come onto the premises will be provided. Moving forward, we would appreciate your co-operation by not bringing your pet to school.
