Parents’ Evening

Just a quick reminder that we have parents’ evenings on Tuesday 21st March and Wednesday 22nd March. We have noticed that there are quite a few children for whom no appointment has yet been booked.

This is an opportunity to see your children’s books and to discuss their progress and recent assessments.

Bookings should be made online through the page on the school website.

We look forward to meeting with you this week.

Safer Internet Day 2023

Dear Parents and Carers,
On Tuesday 7th February we will be joining schools and youth organisations across the UK in celebrating Safer Internet Day 2023. Safer Internet Day is a global campaign to promote the safe and responsible use of technology, which calls on children and young people, parents, carers, teachers, social workers, law enforcement, companies, policymakers and more, to help to create a better internet. Using the internet safely and positively is a key message that we promote in school, and celebrating Safer Internet Day is a great opportunity for us to re-emphasise the online safety messages we deliver throughout the year.
We would be delighted if you could join us in celebrating the day by continuing the conversation at home. To help you with this, the UK Safer Internet Centre have created some free activities and information for parents and carers which are available at:
There is also a video which introduces the theme:
Whether you have 5 minutes to start a conversation or hours to spare, there are top tips, quizzes and films which you can use at home with your child.
If you have any concerns or questions about keeping your child safe online, please do get in touch. Your child’s class teacher should be your first point of contact.
Additionally,  I am also always happy to help and of course our Designated Safeguarding Leads are important contacts for keeping our children safe.
Kind regards,
Mrs Bernasconi
