Year 5/6 took part in a really informative workshop today all about malicious communication and staying safe online. We discussed how we use social media and group chats, explored some of the worries and concerns that can arise and talked about ways to manage and use social media and group chats safely and responsibly. A really valuable session with lots of thoughtful discussions from the children. A huge thank you to Dan from the Stay Safe Partnership for leading such an engaging and informative workshop.

What a lovely way for our Year 6s to end the week receiving their Year 6 leavers hoodies! They all look absolutely fantastic and wore them with pride. Such a special milestone as they make memories together in their final term with us!
