Digital technology is a significant part of our everyday lives. We use technology throughout the day for all jobs and purposes. Therefore, ensuring that all our pupils grow into responsible digital citizens who are able to use technology purposefully and safely is of upmost importance to us.
Digital Leaders meet with Miss Parker each half-term. During these meetings they look at different aspects of online safety. Digital Leaders are then responsible for delivering the key messages from their meetings back to their peers, in their classes and across school. We believe that pupils should be educated about online safety not only by their teachers but also by their peers. Digital Leaders use presentations to educate classes and also to deliver whole-school assemblies.

In these blogs, our Digital Leaders' share quick tips, important reminders, and updates about how we can all be smart, confident digital citizens.
Check back often to see what they’ve been working on and how they’re helping keep our school safe and tech‑smart.

Our amazing Wellbeing Warriors led a fantastic "Hello Yellow" Day to promote Mental Health Day! Staff and students brightened up our school in yellow, raising an incredible £150.81 for this important cause. Thank you to everyone who donated – your support matters! Let’s continue to champion mental health every day.

Our school had a vibrant splash of random pairs of socks for Anti-Bullying Week! We embraced our uniqueness and discussed the importance of kindness in class. A big thank you to our Wellbeing Warriors for promoting this vital message and fostering a supportive community!
