Trev,
I suspect the flood lights at the private school could be commercial integral LED floods and are not interchangeable to reduce lumen output or dimmable. So the only alternative would be to have anti glare baffles or anti glare reflectors fitted to direct the light to the task at hand , not spill 50% of it around the neighbourhood.
