There is a misconception, within the teaching profession and the
general public, that Ofsted, the Health and Safety Executive and
the establishment are against children being exposed to danger and
that schools are prevented from giving children experiences which
involve risk. Mike Fairclough, headmaster at West Rise Junior
School, has blown that theory out of the water. In the superb
Playing With Fire, Mike urges all schools to follow his lead,
empowering other Heads and their schools to provide activities for
their pupils which include an element of risk and danger. With
entertaining and visual examples of his work at West Rise,
including bee keeping, water buffalo breeding, shooting, archery,
Forest School, paddle boarding, and skinning rabbits, Mike breezily
demonstrates how teething problems and mistakes are part and parcel
of risk-taking and should be embraced. The result is an empowering
book that urges educators to cultivate their own resilience,
courage and trust in the same way that we are hoping to foster
those qualities within our students.
