Parents in Partnership

Working together with families is crucial to the success of our work at Norbury.  When we are introducing something new or need to share key information, we will hold 'Parents in Partnership Meetings'.  We also share information via school and class stories on Classdojo to ensure that everyone feels involved and up to date.

 

 

 

Once again Internet Matters have put together a brilliant new resource for parents and carers. This time it's a Set Up Safe guide which simplifies all the confusing tech/device settings advising that online safety works best when it's shaped around how children actually use their devices, it's all about 'layering'.

We know that children enjoy using apps and games, but it can be difficult to keep up with what is popular and understand the risks involved. To support you, we are sharing a helpful guide created by eSafety Adviser. It provides clear, up-to-date information about many of the apps and games children use, including what they do, potential concerns, and tips for keeping your child safe online.

Please take a few minutes to read through the guide. It is designed to help you make informed decisions and start conversations with your child about safe and responsible use of technology.

Our school participated in Safer Internet Day. Although online safety is an ongoing thread through our computing curriculum, this was an opportunity to delve a little deeper into the theme for Safer Internet Day this year - 'Too Good to be True'.

Some of you may have been able to attend the workshops with the links that I shared. For those of you who were unable to attend, but would like to know more - attached is an information leaflet for parents which will help you to build your digital skills to deal with scams.

It was also an opportunity to meet our fantastic team of Ivengers from the Heron Class.  They will be supporting their peers with our online safety learning journey.

We know managing screen time can be a challenge, so we’ve put together a short guide with tips and ideas to help you set healthy boundaries at home. It’s full of simple, practical suggestions that can make a real difference for your family. We’d love for you to have a read and see what might work for you!
