Principal's Message:
It's been an extraordinarily busy week with all of the events and activities taking place that contribute to our pupils' wider personal development.
Year 5, on Monday and Wednesday, visited the Centre for Experimental Military Archaeology at Detling Showground. It linked with this term's unit of inquiry central idea; "Resolutions to conflict between people may lead to a better quality of human life’ and their historical focus of World War 1. It was an incredibly interesting and pertinent experience for the children and helped to contextualise a lot of their learning.
We also attended a Recorder Festival at one of our cluster schools; Leigh Academy Oaks. All of the cluster schools attended to showcase their progress with learning to play the recorder. It was a wonderful opportunity for our Year 3 children to demonstrate all that they have learned during the music lessons and to be an excellent audience to the performers at the other academies. They also had the opportunity to play as one whole recorder orchestra!
Today, we had our annual athlete visit and sponsored circuits in the hall. It was a truly exciting event, particularly meeting the athlete. This year we were visited by Heather Olver, an English badminton player. She won the mixed team and mixed doubles Silver Medal at the 2014 Commonwealth Games, European women’s doubles Bronze, and reaching the final of the 2013 London Grand Prix Gold and Scottish Open. She also competed at the 2016 Rio Summer Olympics. It was truly inspiring to hear about her journey.
We are also very grateful for the donations made towards Comic Relief. It is for a really good cause so it is important that we get involved with enthusiasm.
And finally, we some baby news for our community. We have not one, not two but three wonderful members of staff that are excitedly waiting for new additions to their families to arrive. Mrs Dunn (Year 1 Teacher and Assistant Principal), Mrs Russell (Year 2 LSA) and Mrs Neame (Vice Principal) are all expecting their little ones to arrive in the summer of this year. We are so excited to welcome the newest members of the Langley family. I am sure that you will join me in congratulating them on their fabulous news.
Have a wonderful weekend.

You may have seen in the news lately refreshed concerns around Roblox and the risk of young people being exposed to explicit or harmful content, bullying and grooming through the games available through this site. The co-founder and CEO of Roblox has explained that "tens of millions" of people have "amazing experiences" on the site but went on to add that "if you're not comfortable, don't let your kids be on Roblox."

Whilst Roblox can be a great way for friends to connect and socialise, online games like this that allow multiplayer gameplay with strangers are always fraught with a variety of dangers such as, but not limited to, those mentioned above. Roblox enables people to play anonymously which can often be something that attracts people to misuse the game and potentially put children at risk of harm.

In addition to interacting with random strangers across the world, other factors such as in-game purchases and potential scams can also pose a financial risk and it is vital that parents and carers remain aware of the risks associated with Roblox and how the platform can be used safely. The below guide, which we have shared previously, offers expert advice on what can be done to ensure that children and young people have a safe and enjoyable experience with Roblox.
