Now that our children are having to spend even more time online to access learning task you may be worried that you are not equipped to help and also ensure your child remains safe online.

Internet Matters is a friendly and easy to follow website that is constantly giving out hints and tips on how to keep your child safe online.

This Hints and Tips is a useful document to help.

At school all work on the internet is filtered to ensure children do not find inappropriate material. At home you may not have these settings and so worry about what your child may find when completing Home Learning tasks.

Google have created a child friendly search engine that takes this worry away from you. It is called Swiggle. Give it a try!

If you are struggling with data/internet to access Home Learning then you can request free data increases.

Three, Smarty, Virgin Mobile, EE, Tesco Mobile & Sky Mobile are all taking part in the scheme.

Letter to Parents and Carers 5th January 2021

Dear Parents/Carers,

Following the announcement this evening by the Prime Minister, school will remain open to all pupils tomorrow, Tuesday 5th January. This is due to the lateness of the information and recognising that some may find it difficult to arrange alternate care. However, if you wish to keep your child off school, that is your decision at this difficult time.

Tomorrow a member of the Senior Leadership Team will contact all parents to inform them if we are able to offer a key worker / vulnerable child placement in the following weeks.

Remote Learning tasks will commence from Wednesday 6th January. Links to these platforms can be found in our Pupils tab on this website. Once in this section, select Remote Learning. There you will find links to all sites the children have available to them.

Thank you for your continued support.

Mr. Wallbanks

Dear Parents/Carers,

Thank you, as always, for your understanding in these difficult times.

regards

Mr Wallbanks
