Personal mobile devices mean that children and young people can be active on social media anywhere and at any time. This can provide new opportunities for children and young people to learn and express themselves. But it can also present risks, including:
These issues are tackled in the classroom and as part of an open, ongoing conversation about online safety, so children can learn about how to stay safe on social media. The following NSPCC links should be helpful to you.

Pupils will be provided a termly menu and can make their selection in the morning as part of the registration process.
We strive to be as flexible as possible and recognise the common link between SEN and food aversions.

reporting an absence
Parents/ Carers are asked to contact the school office via telephone or email before 8:45am on the first day of their child’s absence .
You are expected to provide an explanation for the absence and an estimation of how long the absence will last e.g one school day.
Where a pupil is absent and their parent/carer has not contacted the school by the close of the morning register, office staff will contact the parent via telephone call as soon as is practicable.
The school will always follow up any absences in order to:
• Ascertain the reason for the absence.
• Ensure the proper safeguarding action is being taken.
• Identify whether the absence is authorised or not.
For further information about reporting an absence please see the Attendance policy.
