Dear Parents & Carers,

Welcome back everyone!  I’ve managed to chat to many of you this week.  It’s been lovely catching up with you.

The children have been a delight this week.  I’ve been around the classes many times this week and the children have been focused on their learning activities and showing off their hard work to the staff.  They’ve had so much fun playing on the fields with their friends.

On Wednesday, all of the children watched the NSPCC assemblies about ‘Speak out Stay safe’.  Throughout the weeks and months, all of our children are taught about staying safe both in school and out of school.  They learn about listening to each other and about the importance of telling a trusted adult if they’re unhappy about anything.  This isn’t just about people they may meet face to face but what they may see online and whilst they’re out and about.

Our designated safeguarding lead (DSL) is Mrs Hartley who is based in the Year 2 classroom.  I am the deputy designated safeguarding lead (DDSL).  If you need to speak to us at anytime about an issue, please email us or call the school.  You can also use the ‘report a concern’ button on the website.
