Principal's Message
This week, we have been fortunate to experience some sunshine, which has undoubtedly enhanced the children’s outdoor activities and overall enjoyment at school.
On Tuesday, a selection of our Year 3 children participated in a Recorder Festival hosted at another school within our Trust. The children performed admirably, showcasing their musical talents and serving as exemplary representatives of our school community.
Furthermore, on Thursday, our Year 2 students embarked on an educational trip to the Tower of London. They returned to school brimming with excitement and new knowledge, which will greatly support their ongoing inquiry.
We wish you all a lovely weekend.
Mrs H Penning

Violent clips, online ‘wars’, and shock-value challenges can spread rapidly across social media feeds – often appearing in front of young people who weren’t actively looking for them. This guide explains how algorithms, messaging groups and viral trends can expose children to real-world violence online, sometimes normalising harmful behaviour or encouraging risky offline actions.
It also highlights the emotional, social and legal risks linked to engaging with violent content. From anxiety and community fear to the dangers of sharing or promoting violent posts, the guide offers practical advice for parents and educators on discussing online safety, understanding the law, and helping young people respond positively and responsibly.
