YEAR 6 - NEWS
SCHOOLS MOBILE APP - PROTECTING YOUR CHILD ONLINE
We have been made aware of a new Schools Mobile App. The app is designed to protect children from accessing inappropriate material. It offers control over games, apps, websites and does not add incremental data usage. Meaning it won't drain any applicable data plan. The app is also capable of auto-setting YouTube on restricted mode, enforcing safe search and blocking adult, gambling and piracy related content.

PARKING REMINDER
As a healthy school we support children walking to school and we ask Parents /Carers to leave their cars at home. We do know that this is not always possible, so if you do drive please can we politely ask you to turn off your engines when waiting to drop off or collect your child and refrain from parking over residents driveways.
Sadly we have received complaints about dangerous driving at school drop-off and pick-up. Please can we think about the safety of all our Cheam Fields family and local community when driving.
Thank you in advance for your support in this important issue and let’s hope together we can ensure the safety of the children and be more considerate to our local residents.
