Bushey And Oxhey Infant School Completes Step 1 towards becoming a Sun Safe School - Sun Hats, Sunscreen & Role Models

Congratulations to Bushey And Oxhey Infant School for issuing letters and Sun Safety leaflets to the parents / guardians of all of their children. Bushey And Oxhey Infant School have also pledged to make sure that all children have access to Sun Hats & Sunscreen and that all teachers at the school will be good role models with regard to sun safety.

“Sun hats have been made available via the company Mapac for parents to purchase and are part of the recommended summer uniform for our school. Legionnaire style hats are part of this uniform. The letter which has been attached was sent out to our parents in March of 2015 as we worked towards gaining this award and reflects our commitment to ensuring that sunscreen was available to children and that parents were informed about the necessity for this. ”

“Staff in Bushey & Oxhey infant school understand their role in imparting knowledge and information on sun safety and in acting as role models by using sunscreens, shades and hats when in the playground with the children from March onwards. This has been included in our school policy regarding sun safety which has been shared with governors and staff. ”
