The NSPCC’s Speak out. Stay safe programme is coming to visit our school on Tuesday. This is a nationwide programme for every primary-school-aged child in the UK and Channel Islands. With the help of their friendly mascot Buddy, they’ll be presenting an assembly to the children in our school as well as a workshop for Years 5 and 6. These will be presented by specially trained staff and volunteers will give our children information about how to keep themselves safe from harm and how to get help if they have any worries, sensitively discussing issues like bullying and abuse.

If you are reporting your child sick, they should be attending the GP. If they are not ill enough to see a doctor, they should be in school. We will soon be asking for evidence of sickness as our attendance rates have dropped dramatically. Siblings should not have the day off because one child is ill. You can now report a absence using the Schudio App.
