A new project to promote kindness and care in the playground has been launched by a Harrogate school.
Pupils at Ashville Prep School are taking part in the new initiative called Project Playtime which promotes fun and safety during school breaks.
Each year group gets a dedicated box of playground equipment to use and look after to encourage positive and active engagement with their friends.
The pupils are encouraged to try different interactive games and discover new skills.
Deputy Head of Prep Abigail Hiley sad the playing with friends during breaks from lessons was an integral part of school life.
She said:
“We’re very fortunate to have such wide open spaces for playtime and the school yard is a very happy environment for our pupils.
“The aim of this project is encourage children to try new games, care for their equipment and it all adds an extra dimension to their fun and playtime behaviour.“
The pupils were introduced to the new project during a school assembly and shown their new playground zones to ensure a safe and structured playtime.
