🐾 Molly, our amazing Therapy Dog.

We are so lucky to have Molly and her owner, Steve, on hand at Cockermouth School to support our students. Her calm and friendly nature has made such a positive difference to so many students and staff across the school.

Molly is now a finalist in the BBC Radio Cumbria Make a Difference Awards – and we couldn’t be more delighted!

Good luck, Molly! 🐶 Our students and staff all know just how much of a difference you’ve made. ❤️

Watch the BBC video to find out more about Molly and the important role she plays in our school.

AI-generated content, cloned voices, deepfake videos and fabricated screenshots are making it harder for young people to recognise what is genuine online.

Our latest guide supports parents, carers and educators in helping children build the confidence and critical thinking skills needed to question digital content.

The guide explores:
• How AI-generated content and deepfakes can appear convincing
• Why familiar voices, polished presentation and repeated claims should not automatically be trusted
• Risks linked to fake accounts, impersonation and misinformation
• The importance of source-checking and verifying messages through another route
• How adults can respond when harmful or deceptive content targets a child

With clear, practical advice, this resource helps adults strengthen digital literacy and support safer, more informed online experiences.
