- General21 November 2023National Sleep HelplineAt any given time up to 40% of adults and 50% of children (this rises to 80% with a SEND diagnosis) have difficulties with their sleep. Yet in a recent survey, almost 60% of adults felt there was a lack of support for sleep issues. Sleep problems can leave people feeling isolated and lonely. The National Sleep free helpline is run by trained sleep advisors, many of whom are specialists in working with SEND. They can talk to young people directly, or parents (we can also talk to adults, including older people, about their sleep issues). The helpline is open 5 times a week, Monday, Tuesday, Thursday evenings 7-9pm, and Monday, Wednesday mornings 9-11am. The number is 03303 530 541.

- Important14 November 2023Seesaw : whole school re-launchDear families, We are excited to share with you the re-launch of Seesaw across the whole of the school! In response to your feedback and comments, we will be using Seesaw, in all classes, to share highlights of your child’s time in school. Our regular Seesaw posts will be both group based and individual posts specific to your child. We will be able to share with you the experiences your child is having when they are at school, what they are learning and how this learning relates to the full and balanced curriculum we provide. Each week you will receive a minimum of two posts, one individual either uploaded by staff or by your child themselves. The second will be a class or group based post. (Some of our staff and children are new to Seesaw, so please bear with us to establish these regular weekly posts – thank you). We encourage your response to our posts, either a ‘like’, voice note or text comment will help us to share what you would like to see and be updated on more, moving forward. To keep our communications streamlined, we will not be using the ‘Messaging’ service on Seesaw, all communications will continue to be via the SchoolPing App. ‘Announcements’ may be made on Seesaw, these however will only relate specifically to what the children have been learning. In the Spring term we will be adding fun educational activities to ‘Home Learning’ on Seesaw, which you will be able to share with your child at your leisure. We will also be posting our ‘Parent Workshops’ on Seesaw too for those who were unable to attend the live online/in person sessions (image attached). As well as school uploading posts, we very much welcome families sharing pictures, voice-notes and videos of what your child has been doing at home. This could be activities, home learning, weekend outings, holidays, after school clubs, family events or anything your child would like to share with us. Every child’s individual Seesaw account can have up to 10 family members invited to access it. This offers a lovely way for other family members (grandparents, aunts, uncles – the more the merrier) to interact and share in your child’s school life. If you are not already set up and connected to Seesaw, today your child will be bringing home a paper invitation, with their unique QR code on for your to set up your account, we will also be sending invitations via text and/or email. On both the paper and e-invites there is a step by step ‘how to guide’ with it. This link takes you to a video guide https://youtu.be/8zgvEpJESj4 Further FAQs and help can be accessed at https://help.seesaw.me/hc/en-us/articles/206514655-Getting-started-with-Seesaw-for-families or please see your child’s teacher or speak with Carly in the school office if you are having difficulties with Seesaw.
