This week is national Anti-Bullying week. As a school, we are committed to ensuring children feel safe and, should they experience bullying behaviour, they have a trusted adult they can speak to in school. We have recently been awarded the Anti-bullying alliance Silver award and hope to gain the Gold award soon.

If you or your child have any worries, they can speak with their tutor, a member of the year team or any member of staff wearing a purple lanyard who is part of the expert team working to safeguard our students.

All students have had an assembly this week about how to stay safe, stand up and speak out.

Please see the poster attached for tips on how to keep your child safe online and combat online bullying which may happen out of school hours.

We value each and every student and know that the best place for them to access skills and knowledge is in school, in the lessons, and pastoral sessions designed for them. This is why we have decided to introduce an appendix to the behaviour and attendance policy to ensure learners are building positive behaviour and ready for the wider world. This appendix will become active on our return from the October half-term on the 31^st October 2023 and is applicable for all Key Stages.

Dear Parents and Carers,

We would like to introduce to you a new regular feature of our newsletters looking at the use of technology and how we can work together to keep our children safe.

The world our children inhabit is exciting and full of opportunities especially where technology is concerned, sadly alongside this comes increased and new opportunities for them to be at risk.
