Attending Sports Days
Our Trinity Fields Satellite Class is based in the demountable building at the top of the sports field. Taxis drop children off in the junior playground between 9:15 & 9:25. It is really important that the children are able to walk to class before parents attending sports day are in the area of the field.
Please help us by reading this information carefully. Our organisation has been reviewed by an LA Health & Safety Officer.
Parents are asked not to park on the lane on Sports Days so that there is parking for blue badge holders attending sports day (we have insufficient space in the school carpark).
Nursery, Reception - Year 2: All parents attending the morning Sports Days are welcome to stay on site after dropping off their children. The waiting area will be the space between the two buildings at the front of the school.
Please do not wait in the junior playground, back yard, the area between Dosbarth Melyn and the infant yard or on the field - any one lingering will be asked to move as it is important that we maintain a normal walk to class for the children in Dosbarth Enfys (our satellite class).
An exception will be made for blue badge holders who are advised to park in the lane and then wait on the junior yard (but away from the taxi drop off point).
Adults who require wheel chair access are welcome to watch Sports Day from the junior playground rather than the field (and any accompanying adults can join them). In the afternoon, we will open the pedestrian gate at approximately 13:20. In the morning, Mr Evans will be there to direct you to a safe place for you to wait whilst the taxis for the satellite class are arriving. Please do not take up position to watch the Sports Day, until all the taxis have left. If you arrive early, please note that during Sports Day, you will not be permitted onto the backyard, behind the children.
As soon as the Satellite Class children are in class, we will invite parents onto the field.
The gates to the school will be locked for the security of the children at approximately 9:30.
Spectators will sit on the far side of the field and children will sit on the building side, under the gazebos. This is to provide easy and safe access to the toilets for the children.
We have taken the decision not to put out chairs for guests (there are a number of reasons for this – all logistical). However, you are very welcome to bring deck chairs / picnic rugs if you would like something to sit on.
Please move swiftly to the far side of the field - we would like everyone in place before we bring the children out.
When you're watching Sports Day, please do not walk across to the children who will be sat on the other side of the track to you. Also, please do not call them over to you - it's really important we keep everyone safe and accounted for and staff will be busy making sure the races run to plan. The children will go back to class after it finishes – sorry, it is not possible for us to safely facilitate them popping across to say hello.
Anyone spectating who requires the toilet should go to the school office. If you need to walk behind the start line of the track, please do so in between races. If you are on the junior yard (wheel chair access) and require the toilet you will need to ask a member of staff to help you as they will need to accompany you across the backyard and let you through the locked gate at the end.
If you have younger children with you, please keep them with you and supervise them closely.
Years 3 - 6: Parents attending the afternoon Sports Day should not come on to site until the children have all returned to their classrooms after the lunchbreak. The gates will then be opened, at approximately 13:20, for 15 minutes, to allow everyone in. After this they will be locked.
If Sports Day finishes earlier than 3:30, parents may wish to collect children early. Once the children have gone inside, parents are welcome to make their way to their child's normal entrance / exit door. We will release them – this would be a hand over, so if you have multiple children you’ll need to go to each door in turn. If you have a younger child in school (Reception - Year 2), you will also need to go to their classroom doors to collect them (please do not go to the office).
If your child is going home early with someone other than you, please make sure you let your child's teacher know in advance.
Finally, all children will be given a freezer pop courtesy of the PTFA (thank you PTFA!). If you do not wish your child to be given this please let your child's teacher know in advance.
