Whilst we encourage our pupils to enjoy their breaktimes and give permissions for balls to be brought in, we are concerned that certain materials are less safe than others, i.e. hard plastic/leather. With numerous balls flying around during breaks, we would please ask you to consider softer materials like sponge to ensure no pupils are hurt.  We want the children to enjoy their breaktimes as much as possible, but not to the detriment of their health and safety.
