A summer campler tries to get £ 300,000 compensation because they are brought down when a maximum of 100 children accused her during a game of British Bulldog.
Elizabeth Parkin, 45, said it meant that she was without work for about four months with a serious leg injury – which meant that she needed a weak and possibly a knee replacement, the Supreme Court heard.
British Bulldog lets children try to prevent them from running from one part of the playground to another – but schools have largely clamped on the Rowdy game to try to stop injuries.
Up to 100 children accused of MS Parkin-a pastoral lead a year on a Bournemouth Secondary School while her back was turned around, in a mocking competition in August 2023, as reported by the Sun.
It happened in a summer camp where she was working in Bradfield College, a public cost and day school for 13-to-18 year olds in Reading.
She said that the collision on a hockey field at the Berkshire School marks a failure of health and safety of the owners of Euro Sports Camps.
Mrs. Parkin said that a colleague organized the game 'without risk assessment'.
She came to the field while the game was paused and let her go back to the action – so she was surprised when a large group of children started running towards her.

Her claim said, “A child or children bumped into the plaintiff and hit her on the ground, where she sustained injuries.”
The award -winning pastoral lead – declared supporting employee of the year at the Bournemouth Daily Echo School Awards in 2022 – said she was forced to stay out of work until November 2023, four months after she was demolished.
She said she still has pain in her left knee and bone.
The Summer Campler suggests CMT Learning, which operates Euro -Sports camps.
