When preparing a trip abroad schools are advised to contact Martin Northcott at the Plymouth Outdoor Education Service telephone 406444. Sporting Fixtures Schools with playing fields adjoining farmland are advised to consider alternative venues for fixtures and they should encourage cleaning of all sports kit, particularly footwear both before and after sporting fixtures. Examinations Where students are unable to attend school because of the restrictions, the awarding bodies will agree to alternative arrangements. Restrictions Operating in the Plymouth Area. Dog owners should ensure their animals are confined to a kennel or enclosure from which they cannot escape.
Similar restrictions apply to the keeping of poultry.
We would like to remind schools that, if they have not done so already, their completed Service Agreement forms should be returned by 30 th April 2001 . The process for the recruitment of a successor to Alan Cornelius is well underway. The work of Steve Jones and Graeme Catling is to be supplemented with support from Julie Bailey, who has been appointed temporarily for one year as an additional personnel officer. Julie will however not yet assume a full responsibility for a patch of schools, but that will happen shortly. For the moment please continue to contact your designated personnel officer on all personnel issues.
