Staying safe
During a school closure, we want to support you to stay safe.
For students
If you have concerns or worries and you need to talk to someone, contact ChildLine or phone them on 0800 1111.
If you are in danger, or need immediate help, please phone 999.
Take care and stay safe.
Online safety
Online safety is an on-going priority but never more so than during this unforeseen period where students are likely to spend more time than ever ‘online’. The best way for parents to help is to encourage an open dialogue and discussion such that their children are more aware of the dangers and more likely to share their own concerns. Below are some of the useful links . Parents/carers are encouraged to review and discuss the contents contained within the links below with their children.
