The first event organised by our new Friends Committee was a great success! Thank you to everyone who donated chocolate on Friday for our non-uniform day and all those who came along to support this event. There were some fantastic prizes to be won and we raised over £340.00!
Emergency Alerts is a UK government service that will warn you if there is a danger nearby. In an emergency, your mobile phone or tablet will receive an alert with advice about how to stay safe.
On Sunday 23 April 2023 at 3pm there will be a national test of the UK Emergency Alerts service.
However, some charities are concerned about the potential safety risks to people who have been subject to domestic abuse who may be keeping their phones hidden from an abuser, as the alert is a loud, siren-like sound with a screen message and vibration. Survivors can opt out from receiving emergency alerts to avoid their device from being detected.

Yesterday morning all the children took part in an assembly delivered by iRock School of Music. The children got to experience a taste of what it is like to be in a rock and pop band and took part in a whole school sing-along! Some of the children were able to have a go at playing the instruments, including drums, guitar and keyboard.
