A common misconception is that supportive schooling means lowering the standard.

When a child struggles, the first thought is often: “What is wrong?”
But sometimes the better question is: “Is this the right learning environment for my child?”

Many parents ask: “𝐈𝐬 𝐢𝐭 𝐭𝐨𝐨 𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐦𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐚 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐲𝐞𝐚𝐫?”

In our latest blog, we explain why mid-year support can still make a powerful difference.

𝐃𝐞𝐚𝐫 𝐏𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬,

We would like to gently bring awareness to certain toys, teddies, characters, games and online content currently circulating among children.

Some items may look cute, funny or playful at first glance, but the characters behind them can sometimes be linked to horror games, frightening storylines, violence, inappropriate behaviour or content that may not be suitable for young children.

This post is not intended to create fear, 𝗯𝘂𝘁 𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗼 𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗮𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀.

We kindly encourage parents to:

Check the character’s origin before buying a toy or teddy
Be aware of links to horror games, movies or online videos
Talk to your child about what they watch, play and collect
Monitor online trends and characters that may seem harmless at first

Thank you for partnering with us in protecting young minds and creating a safe, positive environment for our learners.
