Social Media sites are very popular now! However, even though the age restriction is 13+, many parents still allow children younger than this to use the sites.

Be sure that you know what they are up to, and what information, photos or videos they are sharing with others. Check out the NSPCC parent support website for really helpful information.

….because it’s dangerous to assume everything will be ok!

We had a great start to school last week, and it was wonderful to have so many parents commenting on how their child was looking forward to coming back – as were the parents!

 

This week we are thinking about responsibility. Our pupils have many opportunities to demonstrate this through being leaders of different groups, as well as through their learning and plan, but what does it mean to be responsible in different situations?

 

Please do come to our ‘Parent Information Session with Mr Applegate’ on Friday morning. Refreshments provided! A great chance to ask any questions, and find out a bit more about our school.

 

Don’t forget our new ‘Question of the fortnight’! Discuss with your family what you think. The current question is “Should you be allowed to drive a car at the age of 10 years old?” The answer isn’t so important; it’s the thinking and reasoning behind it 

 

Monday – Miss Dunn leads our assembly

Tuesday – Class assembly

Thursday – Singing assembly

Friday – Parent information session with Mr Applegate, 9:05am; Celebration assembly

We are really pleased at how our pupils have not only settled in this week, but have already started working extremely hard. Elliot in Year 6 wrote this well constructed letter to Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain about his own aspirations. Well done Elliot!

We hope you have had a wonderful summer break! A reminder, if needed, that school starts on Wednesday 2nd Sept at 8:45am.

Please see Latest News Documents for a helpful guide to keeping your child safe on the internet.

 

Key points for keeping your child safe on the internet:

• Set boundaries in the online world just as you would in the real world.
• Talk to your child about what they are up to online. Don’t leave them alone!
• Keep up-to-date with your child’s development online. How are they communicating with others online?
• Keep all equipment that connects to the internet in a family space.
• Know what connects to the internet and how.
• Use parental controls on devices that link to the internet, such as the TV, laptops, computers, games consoles and mobile phones.
• Lock down sites so that the information is not public.
• Obey age restrictions, particularly on social media sites.

Dear parents and carers,
We are lucky to have wonderful grounds at our school. We want to continue to keep it looking good, and need your help, particularly after school has finished. I am asking for pupils at both the Infant and Junior schools to ensure that they respect our grounds and follow the rules that they normally would during the school day. 

Please see Latest News Documents for our policy on children leaving the school at the end of the day.

If you are in Year 3, 4 or 5, then there are job vacancies for you- see below!
