• Parents and Other Spectators Code of Practice

  School sport is only a part, but an important part, of a pupil's full and balanced education. A balanced approach to sport in the context of the whole extra-curricular provision of George Watson's College is strongly encouraged.

  The following code of practice applies to Watson's parents spectating at matches at George Watson's College grounds and the grounds of other schools. Equally, George Watson's College would expect visiting spectators to abide by the same code.

  • Children appreciate the presence and support of their parents; accordingly, always set an example of good sportsmanship and give enthusiastic, but not excessive or inappropriate, support. Criticism or undermining of the umpire/referee from the touchline is always unacceptable.
  • Parents should not enter the field of play without the express permission of the umpire/referee.
  • Parents and spectators should not enter the changing room areas.
  • George Watson's College parents are invited to assume some responsibility for making visiting players and parents feel welcome.
