What was your school's wet play policy?

Did your primary school let you out when it rained badly?
Looking back, my school didn't even let you step foot outside, even if you had the appropriate change of clothes. So you were forced to watch horrible comedies in the school hall.

its cause we are all so insecure and have had bad school experiences, and have to be keyboard warriors on DS venting our childhood.
Secondary school - do as you wish
My secondary school had a "stay indoors when it's snowing or get detention" policy however.
I was allowed to stay in a lot anyway and just read or something or we had various clubs and things to do (chess-book-ect)
And I know people see that as me not liking fun but to me that was fun my absolute favourite thing in the world was reading (still is really) so Ioved to get to do it as much as I could even when I went outside I took a book with me and read it on a bench.
Very heavy rain meant indoors which was the best i think! If it had been raining during the night, at lunchtime everyone would line up at the playing field and the lunch lady would walk about 10 foot onto the field and feel the grass. If it was dry she would put her arm in the air and that was a signal for everyone to cheer and race down the field, with the first person to reach the fence being "the winner". If the grass was wet she would walk back to us and everyone would be disappointed.
I dont know who on earth made up the rule that everyone lined up and sprinted down the field, but afaik the kids still do it! One of those things where everyone just does it and the tradition carries on.
