Staying safe

Summer safety

We wish you a safe summer break. The School’s reception will be open from 8am-4pm  over the summer if you have any concerns.

Some safety tips for students:

• Always tell someone where you are going and what time you will return.
• Talk to a trusted adult if anyone says or does anything that worries or frightens you. A trusted adult might be a family member or please contact the school – someone will be there to support you.
• Don’t put up with abusive texts, photos or video. Show them to an adult and report them.
• Don’t lend your mobile phone to anyone unless it is an emergency
• Don’t let anyone online trick you into doing something or sending pictures against your wishes.
• Never give personal information to any person you don’t know.
