Andrew will also be running a parent information session and a staff training session.

Our new Digital Champions initiative has now launched. The digital champions have already started a lunchtime club helping the younger children in the school with Scratch jr and have designed their logo. They are currently creating a staff survey to see how teaching staff can be supported with IT issues and during computing lessons.

Too good to be true? Protecting yourself and others from scams online!

We celebrated Safer Internet Day in February. We learnt all about online scams in our whole school assembly and carried on our learning with fun and exciting classroom activities, including a BBC live lesson. The children came up with some fabulous posters to demonstrate what they had learnt about keeping themselves safe online and protecting themselves from online scams.
