It was wonderful to see families joining us to learn more about how phonics is taught and how you can support your child’s reading journey at home. We hope you found the session useful, informative, and full of helpful ideas to take away.

Thank you for your continued support. Working together makes such a difference to our children's learning and progress.

Today, our Year 5 and Year 6 pupils took part in an informative online safety talk delivered by Wiltshire Police.

The children learned about the importance of staying safe online, including understanding age-appropriate apps and games, recognising potential risks, and knowing what to do if something concerns them. They were reminded of the importance of speaking to a trusted adult if they ever encounter a problem online.

The session provided valuable advice and practical tips to help our pupils become responsible and safe digital citizens. We would like to thank Wiltshire Police for taking the time to share their knowledge and support our children's online safety education.
