We would like to reassure parents/carers and, in particular, local residents that our Forest School fire activities continue to operate in accordance with a reviewed risk assessment and following consultation with East Sussex Fire & Rescue Service. The educational fires used within our Forest School programme are carefully managed by trained staff and are subject to strict safety procedures. In light of the recent government fire alert, additional precautions have been reviewed and implemented to ensure risks remain appropriately controlled. On occasion, neighbouring properties may notice light smoke from the Forest School area during these supervised sessions. These activities have been assessed as safe to continue, and we appreciate the understanding and support of our local community as we provide valuable outdoor learning experiences for our pupils. Thank you for your continued support.
