13th March 2023Laura Godley

Red Nose Day 2023 is just around the corner!

To raise money, we’re going to come into school wearing non-uniform, dressing for joy!

If your child wishes to wear something red or decorated with the Red Nose logo they can. However, this is not compulsory. Please do not feel the need to go out and purchase something new.
If your child wishes to wear a red nose they can, however please can this be named. 
A £1 donation is very much appreciated to support Red Nose Day, this can be brought in as cash on the day, thank you.

The money we raise will be used to change countless lives, both here in the UK and worldwide.

We really appreciate your support and hope that you’ll have fun helping us raise lots of money for Red Nose Day.

E-Safety Day 2023

9th February 2023Laura Godley

On Tuesday 7th February we celebrated Safer Internet Day 2023, attached are the slides we created to showcase our thoughts and ideas. 

Internet Safety or E-Safety is an integral part of children’s education in today’s digital world and is embedded in their learning at school. At Carcroft School we want to help our parents and children improve their own understanding of e-safety issues so they can learn to use the internet and all digital media in a safe and secure way.

As a parent/carer you’ll know how important the internet is to children – they use it to learn, play, socialise and express themselves. But the technology children use every day can seem a bit daunting and you might worry about the risks your child can face online – such as bullying, contact from strangers or the possibility of them seeing illegal or inappropriate content.  

To try and help parents/carers with the fast moving and changing world of internet and social media we’ve suggested a few internet sites. You can also read/download the documents for further information and advice.

  •  Thinkyouknow (advice from the National Crime Agency to stay safe online)
  • Internet matters (support for parents and carers to keep their children safe online)
  • Parent info (support for parents and carers to keep their children safe online)
  • Child net (help and advice for parents and carers)
  • Net-aware (support for parents and careers from the NSPCC)
