Parents in Partnership

Working together with families is crucial to the success of our work at Norbury.  We hold 'Parents in Partnership' meetings to share key messages with parents about the work of our school, school development, priorities and initiatives.

We hold regular 'Parents in Partnership' meetings for parents and share key information via our school dojo story for those unable to attend.

 

 

 On Safer Internet Day, February 2023, we met to share key messages around online safety.  We were supported by our IT techinican, James Hartle, and families were given the opportunity to ask their own questions about supporting online safety at home.  Many thanks to those families who attended.

This presentation was shared with families:

 

 

ey messages given included;

• the importance of screen free time 
• information about setting up parental controls and online filtering
• how to make sure that your child is only interacting with people that they know online
• how to make careful selections about what your child is engaging with online - we recommend https://www.commonsensemedia.org/ for honest reviews of media
• how online safety is taught at school and key messages to give to your child

These guides may also be helpful for parents:

 

 

 Some parents requested additional material to support key messages with their child at home.  We recommend the resources freely available here at https://www.internetmatters.org/digital-matters/modules/?user_type=parent 

You can choose topics to discuss from online bullying, how to present yourself online, online relationships and privacy and security.

As always, please do get in touch with a member of school staff if you have any concerns about your child's behaviour or interactions online.
