 A MESSAGE FROM MRS WINTER

Dear Families, 


It has been a pleasure to have the children back in school this week and hear all of their holiday stories. Thank you for ensuring children are fully equipped with the correct uniform and PE kit. 


Team Humber have had a fantastic three days at Low Mill and have come back full of wonderful memories! Please make sure you have a look on X if you haven't already done so to see what they have been up to, I'm sure they will be full of wonderful stories to share with you this weekend!  


I am delighted to introduce you to new members of the staff team who are joining us this year. Miss Wolfenden is teaching in Team Calder and will be working alonside Mrs Findleton.  Miss Wolfenden will be teaching on a Wednesday, Thursday and Friday.  Mrs Marshall is a music specialist and will be in school with us every Tuesday morning and working with children in Key Stage 2.  Mrs Marshall already works in Ebor schools and is a fantastic addition to our team at Staynor Hall.  Mrs Griffin and Mrs Knight have joined the support staff team and Mrs Hanks has joined the cleaning team.  Miss Moran, Mr Hague and Miss Potts are also supporting us this term in school.  I am sure you will join me in making them to feel very welcome. 



Best wishes 

Mrs Winter

SAFEGUARDING THOUGHT OF THE WEEK

A warm welcome back to all children, parents and carers.


As part of our school newsletter I am going to include a safeguarding thought for parents and carers. These will vary from newsletter to newsletter and hopefully there will be some information that you will find useful.

 

For the first few newsletters we will share information around online safety. As a school we have a responsibility to ensure that children know how to keep themselves safe online. 


We recognise that online technology and social media is constantly changing and that it can leave us as the grown ups feeling behind the times (me anyway!). 


This week I have attached a poster which contains really useful tips to keeping your children safe online. Over the coming weeks we will provide information about different online platforms that children have access to. 


If you have any worries, concerns or questions regarding online safety please come speak to myself. 


Thank you and warm regards

Mr Metcalfe
