14th November 2025 Dear Parent Carers, Weekly Update: 14/11/25 I hope this update finds you well. Today marks Children In Need, a day that raises money and awareness for disadvantaged children who face a range of issues. Students have taken part in activities this afternoon, as well as dressing up in their Pudsey wear. Thank you for supporting us to raise funds for this vital charity. To donate to Children In Need, please go to their donation page: https://donate.bbcchildreninneed.co.uk/ Online Safety – Group Chats We have recently seen an increase in reports from students about challenges and concerns related to online group chats. These platforms can sometimes lead to misunderstandings or exposure to inappropriate content, which can affect students’ wellbeing. To support families in navigating these issues, we have included an Information Guide on Online Safety – Group Chats. This resource provides practical advice on how to help your child stay safe, make positive choices, and manage their online interactions responsibly. Thank you for working with us to ensure a safe and supportive environment for all our students, both in school and online. If you have any concerns regarding your child’s safety online, please contact the Family Support Team who are able to provide additional resources or advice. Mini Monster Marathon Thank you for supporting us with our fundraising this year. So far we have raised over £2,264 through the Mini Monster Marathon! This money will go towards either resources in school or an experience to boost cultural capital experiences. Previously, fundraising has paid for swings, as well as trips to the beach and Spring Lakes. Horizons Contact If you would like to get in touch with the Horizons team regarding attendance or any other student related matter, please call the main school phone number on 01332 571151 – we no longer have an Option 2 for Horizons. Mel Lane, who was based at Irongate, is now working in the office at the main school. All of the Admin Team are able to support with any queries you may have.
