Online Safety

We would like to make parents aware of a new resource which has been launched by the National Crime Agency aimed at helping 4- to 7-year-olds stay safe online. Jessie & Friends provides information and advice for you to use at home to support conversations with your children about the internet and online safety, as well as practical information on how you can ensure the online spaces your children are accessing are as safe as possible.

Information for parents and carers about the Jessie & Friends resources can be found on their website from the link provided.

Spring Into Spring Event

The Parents Association are currently organising a sponsored school event for this half-term. The sponsored event will take place on Wednesday 10th April 2019 and will involve pupils completing a fitness course around the school grounds, incorporating the outdoor fitness equipment which the PTA have worked hard to fund (weather permitting). The theme for the event was chosen to complement our current work in school on promoting physical and mental wellbeing.
