Parking

As is the case with most schools, parking is a serious problem at the beginning and end of the school day.  Please respect the parking restrictions around the school site, they are in place to ensure the safety of children.  Parents are able to use the Car Park on Grosvenor Road and walk the short distance to school.  Parents should not use the front and rear school car parks as they are for staff and visitors only.

Valuables in school

Children should not bring valuable belongings in to school.  We cannot accept responsibility for personal belongings that are lost or stolen.

E-Safety

The internet is such an integral part of children's lives these days. It opens up so many educational and social opportunities, giving them access to, quite literally, a world of information and experiences.

Whether on a computer at school, a laptop at home, a games console or mobile phone, children and young people are increasingly accessing the internet whenever they can and wherever they are.

As you would protect your child in the real world, you will want to make sure that they are safe whatever they are doing. Like learning to cross the road, online safety skills are skills for life. If your child understands the risks and can make sensible and informed choices online, they can get the most from the internet and stay safe whilst doing so – particularly from those people who might seek them out to harm them.

So, how can you protect your child online?

It is important for you to understand the internet and understand what the risks are, there are a number of things you can do that will make your child safer online.  Please see the links below for further information:
