The advice helps parents with advice on tips how to start a conversation with their child about online safety, difficult and sensitive topic about the implications of not being safe online, how to support a child struggling online, where and how to report online concerns and how to ensure your child fully understands online safety and is acting on it.

The online video from the UK Safer Internet Centre is guidance for parents on how to start discussions with children of all ages and how to offer trust and support to our children who are online.

Children's Mental Health Week 6-12th February 2023

Children's Mental Heath week ran from Monday 6th to Friday 12th February 2023.

To promote this we held a non uniform "WEAR WHAT MAKES YOU HAPPY" day for the children on the Friday.


This means that children came to school dressed in football kits, princess dresses, superhero outfits, pj's, jeans and jumpers, yellow, sparkles....whatever makes you happy!! (no donations needed).

The campaign highlights how access to mental health support is too often determined by where we live or who we are. But it shouldn’t be like this and we can change things. The idea behind this World Mental Health Day is to do one thing – ‘If we all do one thing, we can change everything’.

World Mental Health Day provides the opportunity to talk about mental health in general, how we need to look after it and how important it is to talk about things and get help if you’re struggling. Your mental health or well-being is just as important as your physical health. It is healthy to know and say how you’re feeling.
