Apart from the weather disruption, it's been a very calm and purposeful first week back to school. Thank you once again for your support yesterday afternoon and this morning.
This week, we welcomed our newest staff member, Belinda Lowehr, to the Bridge Kids team. Following her successful interview last term, Belinda is working with Bev Young every morning for Breakfast Club as well as joining the After School Club team on a Wednesday and Friday. It was also a delight to welcome back Natasha Blue in her role as Teaching Assistant in Year 3.
Digital Safety
We regularly post and share with our community information to support children staying safe online and being digitally responsible. Dame Rachel de Souza, Children's Commissioner, has published a new guide to share with parents/carers - What I wish my parents or carers knew: A guide for parents on managing children's digital lives (link emailed home).
Please do take a look at this guide as part of our shared responsibility (schools, families and wider society) in balancing protecting children from online harm whilst enabling access to spaces that are now central to learning, socialising and play.
