Principal's Message
This week, we conducted voting for some of our pupil leadership roles. I am proud to report that some of our Year 6 pupils demonstrated remarkable courage by standing up in front of their house teams to articulate why they would be excellent House Captains. As a result, eight children have been selected for this esteemed role, and we eagerly anticipate their contributions as they serve as inspirational role models for the wider school community.
Additionally, in classes from Year 2 to Year 6, each class voted for two representatives to join the School Council. Congratulations to all those who were selected; I look forward to meeting with you in our first meeting next week.
Looking ahead to next week, we are excited to announce our first sporting event of the year – a girls’ football tournament. We hope this will mark the beginning of a series of enjoyable and engaging sporting events for our children.
Lastly, we wish to kindly remind parents and carers that dogs are not permitted on the school site during drop-off and collection times, as some children may find them intimidating, this includes carrying dogs.
Wishing you all a lovely weekend.
Mrs H Penning

With over 900 million monthly users, Snapchat continues to be a favourite among children and young people; however, with its ever-evolving features, the risks have evolved too. From AI-generated filters and chatbots, to disappearing messages and the Snap Map location-sharing tool, it’s easy for children to stumble into unsafe territory. This guide breaks down the latest updates, including the Lens+ subscription service, and web browser access.
We’ve also unpacked the risks of sextortion scams, overuse, and inappropriate content that may slip through the app’s moderation systems. With expert advice from online safety consultant Dr Claire Sutherland, this guide is a must-read for anyone helping young people navigate Snapchat responsibly and confidently.
