  • Do you really know what your child is doing online?

    Thu 23 Nov 2023

    The need to keep our children safe online has never been more important. Because of this, Worcestershire Children First have organised very special Online Safety Conference for Monday 27 November 2023 at 6:30pm, completely free of charge. This event has taken many months to organise and is an incredible opportunity to hear from West Mercia Detectives and a Forensic Scientist, who will share real life stories of how children are coming to harm in the digital age. They will also provide three simple steps on how to protect your children. 

     

    For more information and details of how to register, please go to the Letters page of our website or contact the school office.

  • The Big Ambition - Have Your Say!

    Thu 23 Nov 2023

    Dame Rachel de Souza, Children's Commissioner for England, has recently launched 'The Big Ambition' to hear directly from children and young people across the country. 

     

    "Now, as we approach the General Election, I am clear that it is a crucial moment to take children and young people’s voices to policymakers and the Government, to make sure they are heard. 

     

    That is why, through 'The Big Ambition' survey I want to hear from children and young people about their schools, communities, family life, and the wider world. I am also asking what they want for their future, their hopes, dreams, and aspirations. 

     

    This survey is for all children and young people aged 0 to 18. Children aged 6 to 18 can complete the survey themselves. For those who may need additional support or for children under six parents  and other adults can complete the survey on their behalf.

     

    The survey can be completed here: www.childrenscommissioner.gov.uk/thebigambition

     

    Through this link there is an easy read version and different questions based on the age of the child or young person.
