Wake Up Wednesday – WhatsApp This week's Wake Up Wednesday focuses on what parents and educators need to know about WhatsApp. From group chats and disappearing messages to scams, unwanted contact and AI-driven content, it's important to understand the risks children and young people may face when using messaging apps. Keeping children safe while using devices means staying informed, checking privacy settings together and having regular, open conversations about their online experiences.

Children's Mental Health Week – Lyfta Live Today, Rabbits and Foxes joined a Lyfta Live session exploring belonging, courage and resilience. We learnt about Tamara from Amsterdam, whose story of rebuilding her life after a brain injury showed the children the power of hope and confidence. Both classes received several shoutouts from Noel with their answers. We were especially proud of Ida and Emelia in Foxes, who shared their ideas with all participants: Ida said she feels she belongs at Gymnastics because everyone supports her, even when moves are tricky. Emelia explained that we help others belong by following the golden rule treating others as we wish to be treated. All children engaged thoughtfully and respectfully. Lyfta helps our pupils celebrate uniqueness, value all as God's children, and grow as inquisitive learners.
