Dear Parents and Carers
I’m sure everyone – pupils, staff and parents – are enjoying the thought of the long weekend ahead.
- Please let us know by 7.00pm this evening if there are any last-minute requests for a place at Key Worker School tomorrow.
- Please see our Twitter feed and Facebook page for this week’s pupil ‘Shout-Outs’ and images of some of the great work being completed at home this week – thank you for your ongoing support with your children’s online learning – it’s really impressive.
- Today we received another message from the Head of the Cambs Safeguarding Children Board. She has asked us to circulate the attached document and to reiterate previous warnings about the present increased risk of online exploitation:
We know that agencies have seen an increase in exploitation online but a decrease in reporting from professionals. Those intent on harming children have taken advantage of this crisis and of schools being closed, to target children and young people who may be isolated from their usual support networks or missing supervision and support offered by school, college and other education settings.
The resources attached include resources for parents to support safe online learning at home particularly the Thinkuknow links and an online presentation focusing on Safeguarding Children from Online Abuse around Covid-19 which can be accessed here

I hope that you all get the chance to have some rest over the bank-holiday weekend, and can relax and enjoy some sun. If you are one of the workers on the front-line of fighting the COVID-19 outbreak and are not getting this down-time, then very many thanks to you.
With all good wishes, and take care of yourselves,
Claire Coates
