Online Safety

Online Safety

I have attached a ‘Family Agreement’ resource from Childnet International which you may find useful in monitoring your children’s online safety and activity. 

A family agreement is a great way to start a conversation with your whole family about how you all use the internet, and to start discussions together around how to behave in a positive way when online, whether this is at home, at school or at a friend’s.

The family agreement provides a list of things to consider when creating a family agreement, and some examples to get you started. An agreement template is also provided to help families set clear expectations for positive and safe internet use.

The school iPads have limited access to social media platforms and websites, however, many children have personal devices. If you require advice and support, the website below provides a variety of very useful approaches and strategies to ensure your child is safe and responsible online. https://www.saferinternet.org.uk/advice-centre/parents-and-carers

We thank you for your cooperation in working with us to enable all our pupils to have positive online experiences and develop as digitally responsible citizens. If you have any concerns or suggestions please get in touch.

Kind Regards

Back to school for P4-7

Back to School Information – School Uniform Appeal

 

We are really looking forward to welcoming the P4-7 pupils back to school on Monday 15th March. It has been such a long time since they have been in school and I am sure we will be surprised by how much they have grown in the last few months. Unfortunately this may also mean they have grown out of their school uniform!

School uniform is in high demand just now and may be difficult to get due to limited supply. If you have any school uniform polo shirts, trousers, jumpers, socks etc that your child has grown out of, we will gratefully receive any donations. This may help other families and also provide us with spare clothes for use in school. We are particularly short of socks and boys’ trousers.

Donations of school uniform can be handed into the school office. Although we do encourage the wearing of school uniform, we do appreciate that in the current circumstances this may be challenging.

If your child has grown out of their uniform and it is not possible to replace at the moment, please don’t worry. If you don’t have suitable uniform at the moment, please make sure they are dressed warmly and appropriately for school and being outdoors.
