Dear Parents and Carers,
I hope this week has treated you well. There has been a hive of activity at BHPS this week with parent forum, Y6 final preparation for SATS, photo day and David Attenborough’s 100th birthday! The children enjoyed learning about David Attenborough in celebration assembly this morning by watching a video about his life.
We are seeing a steady increase in the use of devices and social media as a way for the children to communicate with each other outside of school hours. The content of such communication is often unkind, inappropriate and this has an impact on how the children interact within school. As a school, we are limited with how much we can support the children with these situations. We teach the children how to be safe online and what is appropriate and not appropriate for their ages. However, we need your support in order to stop the use of devices and social media escalating.
Children thrive when home and school work together. By supporting healthy device use, children are more likely to feel emotionally secure, maintain positive friendships and arrive at school ready to learn. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you need support with this.
Have a wonderful weekend,
Mrs Lawrence
Headteacher and Safeguarding Lead
