Online Safety Reminder π±
We are concerned about the increasing use of WhatsApp and other social media platforms by primary-aged children. WhatsApp has a minimum age requirement of 13, and inappropriate online interactions can have a negative impact on friendships, wellbeing and behaviour.
We ask parents and carers to:
β’ Monitor their child's device and app use
β’ Use parental controls where possible
β’ Talk regularly about online safety
β’ Encourage healthy screen time habits
Keeping children safe online is a shared responsibility. Thank you for your continued support in helping our pupils develop safe and positive online behaviours. π

This is a wonderful opportunity to celebrate the dedication, care and hard work of the staff who help make our school such a positive place for children to learn and grow. Whether it's an individual who has gone above and beyond or a team that has made a real impact, we would love for you to consider nominating them.

At Delapre Primary School, we are committed to supporting the wellbeing, safety and development of all our children.
As technology continues to play an increasing role in young people's lives, we recognise the importance of working together with families to make informed decisions about children's use of smartphones and other smart devices.
We would like to invite you to an informative and thought-provoking parent/carer talk to explore this important topic further.
