  Exciting times ahead for our school!  As well as having this stunning new website, we now have our own Crockerne Youtube Channel where we hope to upload innovative new content in video form to be shared with the community.

  Year 3/4 Film Guides

  This film is uploaded and ready but we aren’t ready to unveil it to the public just yet.  We are having a grand launch on Thursday 12th April in the Large Hall at 9.00am.  After this, it will be available for you to watch online.

   

  What can parents do to help with this?

   

  • Share videos and blogs in social media such as Facebook with all your friends and family
  • Talk to your child about their contributions
  • Subscribe to our Youtube channel to be alerted to any new content straight away
  • If your child enjoys something in school and wants to learn to make a film, encourage them to approach Digital Leaders and they can run a club for them to do this.

• Could your child be entitled to extra funding and you aren’t aware of it?

  Fri 16 Feb 2018

  With school budgets being so tight recently, perhaps it is time to consider how you can play your part in getting what is needed for your child.  In English schools, extra funding is available for some children called the ‘Pupil Premium’.  There’s many different reasons why a child may be entitled to this funding and your child may be able to access this and you may not even realise it.  Why not find out?  It’ll take a few minutes.  All you need is your National Insurance number and some simple personal details to find out.

   

  Follow this link to see if you are entitled to Free School Meals. This is one of the main criterion for the funding.  Don’t discount it, if you think there’s no way you’d be entitled-  it is worth a try!  Imagine what could happen to your child’s education if you thought you weren’t able to access the funding and you take a few minutes to find out and shockingly- you get it!

   

  We strongly urge you to have a go.  See if you can access this funding.  Do it for your child!

  

• The risks your child might be taking without you knowing

  Sat 06 Jan 2018

  Recently, in school we have noticed an alarming trend in children using Social Media with age-restrictions. Although the vast majority of children are very aware of the risks and say they don’t use them, there’s a minority who do.

   

  Those children who have spoken to teachers about this freely admit their use of it and that begged the question- what can we do as a school to help to ensure that parents have the full facts to hand and understand the risks involved with allowing children to use these online tools or even not being aware of their child’s use of them?

   

  We have provided information evenings for parents and assemblies in school for children, hosted by the police. 

   

  Here is a link to NSPCC's Online safety page: https://www.nspcc.org.uk/keeping-children-safe/online-safety/ 

   

  If you have any questions or want to discuss any of this, please pop into school.
