St. Nicholas C of E Primary School Newsletter The recommended age for children to have their own social media account is 13. St Nicholas Church of England Primary School goes solar! We have been looking for some time at using more renewable energy sources and have researched and dismissed the idea of a turbine. However in the very near future you will see solar panels being installed on the south facing new roof of school. This will allow us to create our own energy and maybe even contribute to the national grid. We are also looking at making small changes to our uniform. The colours will stay exactly the same but the logo will change slightly; the school now has the logo registered as a trademark and therefore it cannot be copied without the permission of the school. So we will be selling our remaining stock in a sale that will last as long as we have stock. The new uniform will be phased in after this. From September we will be re-registering all children for breakfast and after school care club again. This means that if you want a place for your child you must complete a registration form from the school office. Places will be allocated on a first come first served basis. As we move towards the half term break, and the opportunity for the children to spend time on their tablets and computers at home, I would like to take this opportunity to raise a concern that we have come across with Oovoo. Oovoo allows multiple users to join a chat with video and is open to abuse from people joining the chat. Parents who haven’t come across Oovoo would be well advised to check their child’s settings and maybe do a little research around the safety of this platform. Best wishes Mr A Mellor, Headteacher
