NEW* Scam Emails Guide
Wed 26 May 2021Email scams are when you receive an email from someone purporting to be a genuine person or company, but is actually an online fraudster trying to trick you into disclosing personal information. This is often referred to as ‘phishing’. Normally, people click on the links in an email assuming that they will be directed to a trustworthy website – but fake sites, closely resembling the real thing, are increasingly being set up by cyber criminals specifically to capture your personal information, which could, in turn, jeopardise your financial, emotional and possibly even physical wellbeing.
In the guide, you'll find tips on a number of potential risks such as viruses, financial damage and personal safety.

NEW* Wellbeing Through Nature
Thu 13 May 2021‘Nature’ is a superb choice as the theme of this year’s Mental Health Awareness Week, as there’s clear evidence that getting access to nature is excellent for our mental health. With Covid-19 restrictions beginning to ease, it’s the perfect time of year to rediscover the natural world and give ourselves a calming, uplifting treat.
You don’t have to drag the family on a four-hour hike, either – just 10 minutes each day in the garden, in the local park or your nearest green space could really help. Here are 12 suggestions for ways you can benefit from nature … both online and off.
In the guide, you'll find tips such as giving Geocaching a go, ditching your phone and playing sports.

NEW* Ofcom Media Report 2020/2021
Mon 10 May 2021Ofcom’s annual ‘Children and Parents: Media Use and Attitudes’ report aims to provide a comprehensive picture of how young people use and experience the internet in any given year. The 2021 edition differs from its predecessors, of course, because it covers three periods of national lockdown. With remote learning affecting children’s digital behaviours, studies like this are more important than ever to recognise digital dangers, understand media experiences and identify who is being left behind in the online world.
In the guide you'll find information on areas including children's online activities, popular apps and parental concerns.

NEW* Wellbeing Award Questionnaire
Tue 04 May 2021We are excited to announce that we are working towards achieving the Wellbeing Award for Schools. This award was developed in partnership with the National Children’s Bureau (NCB), and is intended to help schools prepare and equip themselves to promote emotional wellbeing and positive mental health across the whole-school community.
The vision is to create an education system where good emotional wellbeing and mental health are at the heart of the culture and ethos of our school, so that our children, with the support of their teachers, can build confidence and flourish.
In order to make sure that we improve the support we offer, we want to understand how well we are currently supporting the emotional wellbeing of our children. For this reason, we are inviting all parents and Key Stage 2 children to complete an anonymous survey.
Child Questionnaire
If your child is in years 3, 4, 5 or 6 we are asking for your permission to invite your child to complete the survey. If you are happy for your child to do this then you don’t have to do anything. However, if you do not want your child to complete the questionnaire then please let us know as soon as possible.
Parent Questionnaire
Your views as parents are also really important and I would be grateful if you could go to the Wellbeing Award link. This will take you to a page where you can access the questionnaire. The information from the survey will help us provide even better provision for emotional wellbeing and mental health. All information collected is anonymous and will be kept confidential.
