What a phenomenal morning so far at the G*T Athletics Tournament.

They started with a huge warm up, which then led to some brilliant success.

David and Semilore (Y6) won the 2 x 1 lap relay, which our girls also won. Mrs Childs reports that Skylah is a phenomenal athlete!🥇

Nadia and Jessica (Y6) won the 2 x 2 lap relay - they were incredibly swift! 🥇

Nadia ran again with Zuzanna (Y6) and they smashed the 6 x 2 lap relay. That was exciting to watch.

More events this afternoon which we will update on our page.

We'd like to invite you to join us on Thursday morning to meet with the Mental Health in Schools Team. Please sign in at reception as normal and come and visit us in the school hall.

Sports betting has become increasingly visible online, appearing across apps, websites, social media, sports coverage and gaming spaces.

Even when young people are not legally old enough to gamble, they may still encounter betting messages through adverts, influencers, tipsters, friends or adult accounts.

Our latest guide highlights key risks, including:
• Easy online access
• Gambling becoming normalised around sport
• Peer and influencer pressure
• Free bet offers
• Impulsive spending and chasing losses

It also offers practical advice for parents, carers and educators on starting calm conversations, setting safer digital boundaries, spotting warning signs and finding support.

This week’s guide gives parents, carers and educators a clear overview of adrenaline devices, including EpiPen, Jext and nasal adrenaline.

The guide covers:

• Why the patient should lie down and remain still
• The importance of calling 999
