The Parenting Puzzle
From January, our school will be hosting a programme with Barnados called The Parenting Puzzle. The programme will cover a range of aspects for supporting your child’s behaviour, mental health and selfesteem.
Over recent months, we have had more and more parents and carers approaching us as a school for support with behaviour and dysregulation at home which we are always willing to do. We believe in a community/ family approach to supporting our children and this has been the reason for us offering to host this programme to support you all for the benefit of our children.
This programme will be of huge benefit to any parent or carer who
needs some additional support at home with a range of concerns.
We will be holding a coffee morning with Barnados at 9am on the 5th of December in our school hall for anyone who wishes to come along and find out more about the programme and also to find out more about the other support options available from Barnados. Please see the attached leaflet for more information on Barnados services

Attendance Matters
The United Nation Article 28 states ‘every child has the right to have a primary education’. We are linking our attendance performance to this article.
We want our children to have the best possible education to give them the best chance in life. If your children aren’t in school we can’t give them this opportunity and can’t give them the opportunity to ‘be the best they can be.’

Online Safety – TikTok Live
We are continually sharing our concerns with you regarding TikTok. It is not appropriate for Primary School aged children and with an age rating of 13, all of our children are too young to access the platform. One of the risks with TikTok is TikTok Live. It has recently been brought to our attention that TikTok Live presents many risks to children and young people. Please click here to find out more. Further information to follow.
