Shoes and clothes are ruined frequently and the school has the cheek to tell the kids to take shoes off as they're "too muddy" for the classrooms? There has been many many design flaws with this school and the miniscule bit of tarmac vs mud is one.
My son is on his 3rd pair of shoes. I’m all for having fun and burning energy at break and lunch but it’s at the point I am struggling to get shoes and jackets washed and dry in time for the next morning.
The playground is in a terrible state! When the uniform was initially released it was constantly emphasised on how smart the children were to be dressed and this would be a representation of the school, the poor kids attend school every morning looking so neat then end up filthy just by stepping into the school playground!
The impact on our environment with the amount of washing we are needing to do to keep the kids clothes and shoes clean is ridiculous...not to mention the cost to parents with the new clothes we need to buy when the stain don't come out!! H and how unhygenic it is for children to be sitting in class covered in mud during class...and the impact on the cleaner to clean the mud out the class rooms
As a working parent I struggle to keep up with cleaning school jackets every few days due to the mud on top of making sure homework etc is done. When you arrive home at 6.30pm at night drying winter coats can take a while. Decent School shoes/boots are expensive and tge playground is ruining them. Never had issue before as school rule was no-one on the grass when it's wet.
Please make the playground clean and child friendly.
It's atrocious! The cleaners must be as fed up as the parents with the mucky mess.
