Principal's Message

Happy New Year to you all. 

Despite the cold, wet weather, we have started the term full of energy and ready for the weeks ahead. The children started the week by reflecting back on all of their wonderful work from last term. We hope you will enjoy seeing all of their thoughts on their class reflection sites. 

Thank you to those of you who attended our open event on Wednesday after school. It was lovely to see so many of you coming in to look at your child's books and to talk with them about their learning. We hope the termly overview was also helpful in keeping you up to date on what your children will be learning in school over the next few weeks. 

As you are aware, we unfortunately had to postpone our KS2 Church Concert last term. Just a reminder that the new date is Tuesday 9th January. We hope you will all still be able to join us in celebrating the children's hard work in music. 

I hope you all have a lovely weekend. 

Mrs H Penning

National Online Safety 

At this time of year, it’s highly possible that you have a new phone, games console or other digital device stashed somewhere at home, ready to be unwrapped. Many parents also prefer to place some protective measures on those gifts – to keep their child shielded from potential #OnlineSafety risks – while others would like to, but aren’t sure where to begin. 

Our guide shepherds you through the process of establishing parental controls on new internet-enabled devices, from smartphones to laptops to consoles. Simply find the device in question and read on to find out what options you have and how to enable them – letting children enjoy their shiny new gadget, without so much of the worry over where it might lead them
