Use of Social Media 

We are aware that social media is a useful tool that parents use to communicate. However the school is concerned that negative comments may be made in such postings. You must be aware that such postings considered in law to be accessible to the general public and you are therefore subject to the laws of defamation, malicious communication and improper use of the communications network. Any offensive or false allegations against the school or its employees will be notified to the Police. If you have concerns with any aspect of your child’s education and learning you should contact the Headteacher.

thinkyouknow.co.uk have put together some fantastic age appropriate home learning resources to support children and parents during COVID-19 and the closure of schools. Each fortnight, they are releasing new home activity packs with simple 15 minute activities you can do with your child to support their online safety at a time when they will be spending more time online at home.
