DOGS ON SCHOOL PROPERTY

Children can benefit educationally and emotionally, increase their understanding of responsibility and develop empathy and nurturing skills, through contact with pets. Occasionally dogs may be brought into the classroom as part of an educational visit e.g. Dogs Trust, Guide Dogs for the Blind etc. There will be specific arrangements in place to accommodate such visits.

Please note that the EA has a policy in relation to parents bringing dogs into the school grounds.  This states that it is important to ensure that the dog is on a lead at all times. The adult must always have control of the dog – children must never be left alone with or in charge of the dog. Any dog foul should be cleaned immediately. Aggressive dogs or those with a history of aggression, must not be brought into school grounds. Parents should keep their dog away from other dogs within the grounds as it is not always possible to gauge how dogs can react towards each other.

School playing fields and playgrounds are private property and should not be used for the purposes of exercising dogs.

We invite you to click on our prospectus to find out more about the school.

Have a look at our new Nature Nook - an area of previously overgrown garden space that has been transformed by the PTA for all to enjoy!

What an exciting day we had! Thank you to George and his mum for arranging for Tesla to come to Cavehill PS. We had three Tesla cars and a Tesla quad bike for the children to explore, an informative lesson on sustainability and a 'dancing Tesla' display for P2 and P6 classes.  The staff were as thrilled as the pupils!
