Online Safety & Social Media Awareness Workshop

YouThrive, in partnership with EE, is hosting a free Online Safety & Social Media Awareness Workshop to help parents, carers, and professionals better understand the digital risks facing young people and the practical tools available to protect them.

Details:

The session will cover safer SIMs, WiFi controls, device settings, and how to recognise early signs of online grooming, gaming risks, and social media pressures.

Amazing Attendance and Perfect Punctuality Week

Amazing Attendance and Perfect Punctuality week

This week has been our amazing attendance and perfect punctuality week.

This initiative is designed to encourage everyone to embrace the importance of being on time, remembering our 'Pupil Job 1', while having a bit of fun along the way.

Pupil Job 1 - Come to school every day on time

Parent responsibility - Ensure that your child arrives for school on time, every day and ready to learn.

Weekly Attendance Target 96%

Here’s how it works:

📅Daily Prize Draw

Each day of the week, if you arrive at school on time, your name will be entered into a prize draw for a chance to win a delightful bag of treats! The more days you arrive on time, the more chances you have to win! It’s a simple and fun way to motivate everyone to prioritise punctuality.

🍽️Early Bird Breakfast Treat on Friday:

As an extra incentive, we’ll be hosting a ‘special early bird breakfast treat’ on Friday 14th November for all children who arrive by 8:45 AM. Collect your treat from outside the main office before you head off to your classroom. It’s our way of saying thank you for your commitment to being on time and starting the day off right!

🎉Whole Class Treat:

We want to elevate the excitement even further! Any class that achieves amazing attendance and/or perfect punctuality for the entire week will receive a special whole-class treat. So, encourage one another and show your commitment to being present and punctual!

Let’s make a fantastic start to the school year by showing our commitment to attendance and punctuality. Remember, arriving on time not only helps you settle in for a successful day of learning, it also sets a great example for your peers.

We are excited to see all of you bright and early, ready to learn and participate. Let’s set a positive tone for the rest of the year and build the habits that will lead us to success!

Best of luck to all, and let the attendance challenge begin!
