Online Safety

This week Miss Darmanin led our half termly safety assembly with a focus on Online Safety. Children were reminded of the SMART safety rules and they discussed each element. A huge well done to everyone, Miss Darmanin was very impressed with how knowledgeable the children are. They were all reminded to share the SMART safety rules at home and to always make sure grown ups are aware of their online activity.

I have reached out to the team and we hope to run some of these groups from our school in the near future, in addition the the workshops held in Market Drayton. I will keep you updated about the developments.

Fidget toys

A polite reminder to check with school staff before sending in any fidget toys. We have school approved fidget manipulatives for pupils to use should they be needed in class or around school. We also work with the school nursing team to provide support in this area. Children may need to use a manipulative to aid their concentration for a short period of time, or to support with a particular sensory need or anxiety. It is important that school staff are aware of such needs so that we can support pupils with effective strategies to overcome any barriers at particular times.

Please see Mrs Williams our SEND lead or Miss Darmanin our Mental Health lead, but always discuss with your child’s class teacher in the first instance to ensure we can work together to best support pupils.

Thank you.
