Headteacher Update

28.5.21

Dear Parents/Carers,

We hope everyone is looking forward to half term…the weather looks promising, we all need a bit of sunshine.

Hours - After half term start and finish times will stay the same but we will reopen on a Friday afternoon.

Masks – Thank you all for wearing masks on the school site. As the risks are now decreasing it is fine if you don’t wear a mask when picking up and dropping off. Please do wear one though if you need to speak to a member of staff.

Dates – We still don’t know what exactly we’ll be able to do, that involves parents, in the last term. We will give you as much notice as possible if we are able to invite parents to take part in events.

INSET – Monday 7^th June is an Inset day. The children return to school on Tuesday 8^th.

Safeguarding

Yesterday we held an assembly for Years 1-6 around being safe and especially online safety. We took a quiz which discussed what to do in different scenarios. The majority of our children have access to devices that mean that they can access things online. We also talked about whether our parents and carers knew how to keep their children safe online.

A new safety campaign aims to help parents have conversations with their children about keeping their 'door' closed to child sexual abusers. The campaign includes a booklet for parents, explaining the risks, explaining why children are vulnerable, and suggests practice steps that parents can take.

The mnemonic used in the campaign is TALK:

TALK to your child about online sexual abuse. Start the conversation – and listen to their concerns.
AGREE ground rules about the way you use technology as a family.
LEARN about the platforms and apps your child loves. Take an interest in their online life.
KNOW how to use tools, apps and settings that can help to keep your child safe online.

There is also a lot of really useful advice on the NSPCC website.

Have a safe half term,

Dovecote is at the heart of its community and we see your child’s education very much as a partnership.

We look forward to seeing you at parents’ meetings, assemblies, concerts, open days, school fairs, and many other events.

On the website, we have tried to include all the practical information that you could want to know about our school. If you have a question that is not answered, please get in touch and we will get back to you.
