One of the school caretaking staff drew our attention to the amount of rubbish that is being left on the playing field following Bessacarr FC matches.

It is essential that managers whose teams play the final matches on Sundays ensure their pitches and surrounds are cleared of all rubbish - which usually comprises used drinks bottles. There are bins in the school grounds and on the road outside the school entrance.

In addition dogs have been observed in the school grounds during Bessacarr FC matches in recent weeks. For the avoidance of doubt dogs are not allowed in the school grounds under any circumstances and managers should ensure their opponents are notified of this in advance. The same rule applies equally to Hatchell Wood School. Anyone who attempts to bring a dog into the school curtilage must be instructed to remove said dog immediatley to a point outside the school boundary.
