The 'WakeUpWednesday' guides empower and equip parents, carers and educators with the confidence and practical skills to be able to have informed and age-appropriate conversations with children about online safety, mental health and well-being, and climate change.
Each week we will post a relevant guide to support our school community's knowledge and understanding of how to keep safe online and new things to be aware of.
This week is an online safety focus on 'Age Ratings'. Please click on the PDF to enlarge it.

Important Attendance and Punctuality information
Consistent attendance helps ensure that pupils keep up with the curriculum and stay on track with their peers. It also allows children to build and maintain friendships, develop social skills, and participate in group activities
Please be reminded of the following:
Register Times:
Soft start from 8:45 AM
The school day starts at 8:50 AM.
The attendance register closes at 9:20 AM.
Marking Late Arrivals:
Arriving by 9:20 AM: If your child arrives between 9:00 AM and 9:20 AM, they will be marked as late (Code L).
Arriving after 9:20 AM: If your child arrives after 9:20 AM, they will be marked with an unauthorised absence for that session (Code U). 10 sessions (5 days) of Unauthorised absence during a rolling 10 week period could lead to a fixed penalty notice of £80 if paid within 21 days or £160 if paid within 28 days.
