🌈🌟 What a lovely first week back!🌟🌈

It has been wonderful to welcome everyone back to St Mary’s and see the school full of happy faces, chatter and laughter again. Our children have settled back into school life brilliantly, and we’ve especially loved welcoming all of our new children and families into the St Mary’s community. 💙

Thank you to our families for helping make the start of the new school year feel so positive and settled. We’re excited for everything the year ahead will bring! 🌈

One little practical reminder as we head into autumn… please send children in with a named waterproof coat each day. ☔️ We’ll be outside whenever we can — and, as we know, British weather does like to keep us guessing! We have already experienced our first wet play which is never fun for the children so moving forward we will be outside even in light rain.

Here’s to a year full of Love, Joy, Wisdom and Hope. ✨
💙⭐️🙏🌈

KCSIE 2026 has been published, with the new statutory guidance coming into force on 1 September 2026.

From all staff reading Part One in full to updates on mobile phones, online harm, safeguarding records and volunteer checks, there is plenty for schools and education professionals to be aware of.

Our latest guide highlights 10 key changes, including:
• Part One reading expectations for all staff
• Mobile phone-free guidance
• Online harm, deepfakes and sextortion
• Misogyny and escalation risks
• Mental health warning signs
• Gender-questioning children
• Volunteer checks
• Family Help and joined-up support
• Stronger safeguarding records

It also flags wider updates around Operation Encompass, filtering and monitoring, cyber security and child protection files.
