Secondary school adapts playground to accommodate pupils when they return

A Motherwell secondary school has adapted its playground to accommodate pupils when they return after the summer.

Dalziel High has yellow markings and red arrows around the main playground, showing youngsters where to stand to avoid close contact.

A spokesperson for North Lanarkshire Council said: “We have been working on making our school estate as safe as possible as part of our plans for the return of staff and pupils in August.

“Schools, classrooms and playrooms will also look somewhat different to before – including information around enhanced hygiene and cleaning protocols and directional signage to promote greater movement around school buildings and spaces.

“The safety of pupils and staff is our priority and health and safety is very much at the heart of our plans, with risk assessments and infection prevention measures in place.

“Some of the signage may only be used as a contingency, should the situation around coronavirus change, and we await more guidance from the government as we continue to plan for a full-time return in August.”
