As part of our ongoing efforts to best prepare Yr 6 children for the upcoming transition to secondary school, we have reviewed and amended some guidelines related to mobile phone usage.

We are seeing an increase in the number of children breaking the school guidelines that were agreed at the beginning of the year. A copy of the consent form will be attached to this post as a reminder of the guidelines that both parent & child agreed to.

In line with the guideline: “Should your child be found using their phone inappropriately, the school reserves the right to withdraw this privilege and they will no longer be able to bring their phone into school.” we are now introducing a Mobile Phone Licence for those children who bring their phone to school.

Should a child be found to be using their phone on the school grounds, they will receive a mark on the licence card, after 3 marks the child will lose the right to bring their mobile phone to school for 6 weeks.

Children will be issued with their mobile phone licence at the start of next week and are expected to be responsible for it at all times. Teachers will speak to the children to explain how this new system will work. Should you have any questions, please contact a member of the Yr 6 team.

Many thanks.

This week, to mark Safer Internet Day 2025, children in year 6 spent some time looking at the meaning of ‘phishing‘ and ‘scamming’

Children completed activities on SeeSaw and spent time finding out how to avoid potentially dangerous scams.

Some children will have brought home a letter this evening offering additional support in maths. This is something we have done for a number of years and always found it to be successful in helping children with their confidence and ability in maths.  We ask that these slips are returned to school ASAP so we can allocate groups.

Please can we remind parents that these session begin after half term. 

If you would like any more information on this, please contact your child’s class teacher.
