SAFEGUARDING OUR CHILDREN
Sadly, we are experiencing an increased amount of fall outs and incidents which are involving online sites/games that are clearly not suitable for primary age children.
We would like to remind you that, whilst we do our utmost as a school to teach our children how to keep safe on-line and how to protect themselves, the use of sites such as Snapchat, Fortnite, TikTok (all 13+ age recommendations), WhatsApp (16+ age recommendation) etc. is clearly a parental choice and responsibility.
Unfortunately, if issues occur, stemming from the use of these sites, which computing advisers say our children are not mature enough to use, we as a school cannot be held responsible for any outcomes. Also, you should be aware that any child’s interactions with these sites is found to have an impact on:
There is also the possibility of your children becoming an online ‘friend’ with someone who is much older than they are.
Please note that if anything does come to our attention, it always takes up a considerable amount of precious teaching and learning time as well as management time from senior leaders and that it needs to be recorded as an online safety incident.
We would advise that you monitor your children and their time online very carefully. You will also find an array of resources which will support you in this on our website, under On-line Safety. https://allsaintsprimarymarple.co.uk/stockport/primary/allsaints-pri/site/pages/school/policies
Thank you for your continued co-operation and support as we work together to keep your children safe.
GOVERNOR OF THE WEEK – TOM BRAIDE
WHY I BECAME A GOVERNOR:
I have a daughter in Year Two and a son in Reception. Ever since our first contact with All Saints', I have been struck by the warmth of the staff and their drive to support the children.
When a parent governor vacancy arose, I saw it as an ideal opportunity to help the school and be a part of its continuing success story. I have an unusual background as an accountant, a qualified maths teacher and the parent of a child with additional needs. It remains my hope that I can use these skills and experiences to boost an already fantastic school and governing board.
MY ROLE IN SCHOOL:
I was elected as a parent governor in December last year. I attend the Resources Committee and I'm really excited to be the class governor friend for the Reception class due to start in September 2021. I'm hopeful that as we progress further along the 'road map' that soon I might even spend some time in school!
ENCOURAGING WORDS TO CHILDREN AND PARENTS:
The last year or so has been incredibly challenging for everyone in a variety of ways. But one constant throughout has been the professionalism and (more importantly) the kindness of the incredible people at All Saints'. Whatever is to come next, rest assured that the school will do everything possible to support our children and their families.
A message from the PA
Find the hidden gems of Marple and help to raise money for our lovely school!
To help raise funds for more school resources and fantastic events like the History Van, the Parents' Association have created a Summer Treasure Trail around Marple.
The trail has been designed so that you can participate with your own household/bubble following the social distancing restrictions that are in place at the time. It involves a short circular walk (wheelchair/buggy accessible) answering questions about what you can see around the centre of Marple, starting and ending at School.
If you would like to take part, please send your entry fee via ParentPay and follow the link that was sent out to you via Tapestry, in time for the half term break. The suggested donation is £1 per family.
Please regulary view the Summer Diary Dates which were posted on Tapestry on Friday 16th April, 2021
