Important Information to Share  

 
 
Online Safety Updates
WhatsApp for Under 13's - Similar to other parent-managed accounts, What's App has now started to roll out options for parents to safely manage access this app for their child. Click the links below to find our how.
A parent will pair their device/account to the child's device/account which then gives a lot of flexibility such as:
  • No 'view once' messages.
  • No location sharing.
  • Messages and group invites from unknown contacts sent to the parent for approval.
  • Parent notifications, such as new contact added.
 
Relief Midday Supervisor
We are currently looking to appoint a Midday Supervisor who can be available during lunchtimes to cover absence.
The main purpose of the role is to supervise the children at lunchtime in the dining room and outside on the playground, ensuring a safe and active lunchtime for all children.
 
We are looking for someone who
  • is friendly, patient and approachable
  • is happy to work outdoors
  • can work well as part of a team
If you know someone who might be interested, please ask them to contact the school office for more information.
 
Talent Fest tickets
For those parents who have booked a ticket (last orders by 9am Monday please) your child has one / two tickets in their bag to bring home today. If you had requested more than 2, we will see if there are more left for purchase when the deadline closes on Monday and may be release more. Please ensure that you bring your ticket with you on Tuesday. 
Please pay for the pupil lollies by Monday if you have not done so already.

School Governor vacancy - spread the word!

If any parent knows someone from the community who might be interested, please pass on the information. We are particularly looking for experience or skills in finance, health and well-being .For an informal conversation, please contact Executive Headteacher Joanne Austin or the school office on 01473 73033 / 01473 310253 / [email protected]
