On our first day at PGL Windmill, we have already conquered a sensory trail where we relied solely on touch and our hearing senses, followed by some groups taking a leap of faith and some soaring on the giant swing!
To finish the day, some kids have had the opportunity to watch the England game whilst the others had an early night, ready for tomorrow’s adventures!

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.

⚽ Another exciting chapter of Trust Games took place last Thursday as pupils represented Sedley’s in the football competition.

Across 14 action-packed rounds, our pupils demonstrated fantastic effort, teamwork and determination throughout the day. Sedley’s currently sits in 12th place overall, and we are incredibly proud of the positivity and resilience shown by the team.

The final event, Athletics on Tuesday 14th July, still has double points available, meaning there is plenty left to play for. We can’t wait to see our pupils give it their all once again!

Oaks had a wild day at Wildwood in Herne Bay. We did a Viking workshop where we learnt about different weapons to how to make fire. The animals were a highlight for us all especially the bears. We also completed a lifecycles workshop. We wish we had a little more time for the animals as we were certainly busy from arrival to the end.

Thank you to Paula and Kayleigh who also helped us with the trip.

Minecraft continues to be a highly popular platform for children, combining creativity, problem-solving and social interaction.

While the game can offer positive opportunities for learning and play, features such as public servers, multiplayer modes and in-game communication can create safeguarding challenges.

The guide explores:
• Public server communication and contact with unknown players
• Griefing, disruptive behaviour and online conflict
• In-game spending and subscription costs
• Addictive gameplay loops and balanced screen time
• Safer settings, private servers and suitable game modes

With clear, practical advice, the guide helps adults set boundaries, encourage safer choices and support responsible Minecraft use.
