E-Safety We teach children about Risk, Responsibility and Reputation. Be aware of what your children are doing at all times Should not have Facebook, You Tube, Musically or any other social media accounts. Fortnite, Call of Duty, multi-player Minecraft and other games are not suitable for children at this age. These have been legally rated as 12 or 18 for a good reason. But what about unknowingly? Beware of older children… See the CEOP link – (the Child Exploitation and Online Protection service) on the school website for more information about online safety.

Our PTA need Class Reps! The PTA are looking for volunteers to be class representatives – 2 per class would be great! You would be a point of contact for the PTA reps and other parents. It will be a great way to meet others and get involved in school life. If you are interested, send your contact details to your child’s class teacher. These will be passed onto the PTA who will then get in touch.
