If they have no outdoor sports facilities either I think that's a mistake. They need to have some time outdoors.

Playing out is something kids do grow out of once they get to secondary school but that doesn't mean they shouldn't have breaks. They still need free time to socialise and interact with each other. How else do they learn to get on with others? There will be bullies with or without a playground and they need to be tackled on a one to one basis.

I think just having one half hour break for lunch is a bit mean. I'm actually surprised they have time to get their meal and eat it in that time. Do they not have to queue up for it?
