  • Mobile phones in school

    Published 06/06/23

    We would like to remind you of our vision to provide every student the opportunity to become a successful learner, in a supportive and safe environment, that positively contributes to wider school life. Unfortunately, the inappropriate use of mobile phones in class is having a detrimental effect on pupil’s learning and caused some safeguarding issues. It has been brought to my attention that a number of pupils are currently not following school procedures regarding the use of mobile phones in school. A number of pupils are getting their phones out in class which leads to a lack of learning and at times confrontations with staff. Some pupils are even leaving the classroom to use their phones. Pupils have also refused therapeutic interventions due to playing games on their phones.

     

    The school allows pupils from the Vocational Hub (V1, V2 & V3) to bring their phones in but not get them out in class. If pupils in the transition hub (T1, T2, T3, T4, T5 & T6) bring their phones into school they need to be handed in on arrival or to their form teacher at the start of the day.

    It has also been brought to my attention that on occasions pupils are using their phones to take pictures or videos of other pupils. This is a huge safeguarding concern for the school and pupils. Safeguarding students is a top priority for us so can I remind you that taking pictures or videos of pupils in school is not permitted.

     

    If a student requires a phone for the journey to and from school, we provide a safe for the phones to be stored in, as the students enter the building.

     

    If pupils are using their phones inappropriately in school I will follow this up with individual pupils and their parents and if I feel that the policy is not being followed this could result in pupils being unable to bring their phones into school and/or in extreme cases could lead to exclusions or for the SLT/Governing Body to review the policy of having phones in school.

     

    If you need any further advice or support on the use of mobile phones in school, please do not hesitate to contact the school office.

     

    We thank you for your continued support and look forward to working with you in the near future

  • Mile Run and Rowing Club

    Published 05/06/23

    PE department is happy to announce the exciting recommencement of our sports initiative called the Mile Run for the start of Term 6. This initiative aims to promote physical fitness and endurance among our students, providing them with a fun and challenging opportunity to engage in outdoor activities. During the Mile Run, students will be required to complete a mile around the school field or back playground depending on weather, showcasing their endurance and determination

     

    In addition, if students don’t want to participate in the mile run the PE department will be providing students with the opportunity of participating in a rowing challenge. Students will be timed to see how long it takes them to complete a distance of 500 meters on the rowing machines.

     

    The Mile Run and Rowing club will take place on Tuesdays for primary, and Wednesday for the Secondary:

    Secondary Students:

    Mile Run: 9:15 AM to 9:30 AM

    Rowing Club: 9:15 AM to 9:30 AM

     

    Primary Students:

    Mile Run: 9:15 AM to 9:30 AM

    Rowing Club: 9:15 AM to 9:30 AM

     

    Participation in these activities is optional, but we strongly encourage all students to take part, as it contributes to their physical well-being. The Mile Run and Rowing Club provide an excellent opportunity for students to challenge themselves, set personal goals, and celebrate their achievements.
