We have booked for a company called PrimeVR to come and deliver a virtual reality workshop day for years 3/4 and 5/6 at our school on Monday 26th June 23. We think this is a fantastic opportunity for our pupils and will help to bring their topic to life.

(Please note, it is recommended that pupils with epilepsy or pupils who are prone to seizures consult with their doctor before using a VR headset. If your child has epilepsy, is prone to seizures or may not be able to use a VR headset, please consult with a doctor and inform the school reception before signing this permission slip as an alternative device can be provided for accessing this workshop).

PrimeVR has been delivering workshops using virtual reality since 2017. You can see what schools, teachers and parents think of our workshops by checking out our reviews on Google and Trustpilot. Our workshops have been specifically designed for schools to help bring learning to life and they are delivered by an experienced member of the PrimeVR team in a controlled and supervised environment.

During our workshops, we implement the following safety measures:

● A full safety briefing is delivered at the start of every workshop and VR usage will be supervised by an adult at all times. A safety video will also be shared with every class prior to our arrival.

● Pupils share one VR headset between two and will only look through a VR headset for a maximum of two minutes at a time before taking a break.

● All VR headsets are controlled by a central iPad/tablet which allows a member of the PrimeVR team to deliver specific educational content.

● Pupils will always be required to sit down whilst using a VR headset.

● All headsets are cleaned using Clinell Universal wipes in between classes.

● Please note, an iPad/tablet can be provided as an alternative device for accessing our workshops.

We use Pico G2 4K VR headsets during our workshops. We believe the additional measures we’ve put in place, alongside adult supervision, provides a safe environment for all pupils in KS2 to use VR for short periods of time for educational purposes. You can find out more information about the headsets that we use, including any safety guidelines, by visiting https://www.picoxr.com/. If you have any further questions, please don’t hesitate to contact us at info@primevr.co.uk. Please note, if you do not want your child to use a VR headset, please inform the school and we will be able to provide an iPad/tablet as an alternative device for accessing our workshops.
