Read MoreSmartphone Safety Tips for Young People #WakeupWednesday
Published 31/01/24We will regularly share free online safety guides provided by National Online Safety (NOS) as this is part of our commitment to keeping all children and families safe online.
This week the focus of our #WakeupWednesday is Smartphone Safety Tips for Young People - According to Ofcom, 69% of under-18s use a smartphone as their main method of going online. Additionally, 49% of children use them for online gaming – putting smartphones only behind consoles (59%) as the device of choice for playing games on. Most people won’t require such statistical evidence, however, to acknowledge the huge importance of phones to young people.
Given that Santa’s recent visit is likely to have bestowed smartphones on an even greater number of young people, it’s a particularly opportune moment to ensure that children are able to use their handsets responsibly – and, above all, safely. From passcodes to parental controls, and from screen time to scams, our #WakeUpWednesday guide has the essential advice.

Year 1 Christingles
Published 23/11/23In Year One RE lessons, we have been learning all about how Christians celebrate Christmas. We learnt that Christingles are used by some Christians in church during the time of Advent, to celebrate the birth of Jesus and Jesus as the Light of the World.
We also learnt that each part of the Christingles has a special meaning behind it:
The word Christingle means 'Christ's light'.
Candle- Jesus is the light of the world.
Orange- The world.
Red Ribbon- Christ’s blood and God’s love.
4 Sticks- 4 seasons
Sweets- God’s creation.
Look how amazing my Christingle looks!

The most prestigious of these was the British National Closed Solo Championship, in which she had to dance Waltz, Foxtrot, Tango, Quickstep and Viennese Waltz back to back. Approximately 50 girls from the UK and Europe were in this competition and Zoe got through all of the rounds to get to the final. In the final she achieved a highly respectable 7th place.
As well as ballroom, she entered the following Latin competitions - Cha Cha Cha, Samba, Rumba and Jive. Again, all of the entrants were the best Latin dancers in the country.
She finished the day with the following results -
4 x 4th Places
1 x 5th Place
1 x 6th Place

5 x Semi-final Places
We are super proud of you. Well done!
