Outside play and exercising with children during lockdown
After being made aware of a potential play group bubble being formed we would like to share the government guidance about what you can and can’t do during lockdown. We are understandably trying to keep the school as safe as possible for our critical worker and vulnerable children, our staff and community.
This is the official government guidance (full document)
Taken from the above document:
Public outdoor places include:
- parks, beaches, countryside accessible to the public, forests
- public and botanical gardens (whether or not you pay to enter them)
- the grounds of a heritage site
- public playgrounds
Playgrounds are primarily open for use by children who do not have access to private outdoor space, like their own garden. Although you can take your children to a playground for exercise, you must not socialise with other people while there.
