Children encouraged to watch NSPCC virtual assembly hosted by Ant and Dec | Channel | ITV News

I am pleased to tell you that this term we will be participating in the NSPCC’s Speak out. Stay safe. online programme.  This consists of an online assembly and supporting classroom based activities.  Speak out. Stay safe.  is a safeguarding programme available to all primary schools in the UK and Channel Islands.  It aims to help children understand abuse in all its forms and to recognise the signs of abuse in a child friendly, interactive way. Children are taught to speak out if they are worried, either to a trusted adult or Childline.

The NSPCC have developed an online version of their Speak out. Stay safe. programme to help overcome some of the challenges that the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has presented in relation to having external speakers in school.  In the online assembly, the Speak out. Stay safe. messages continue to be delivered in a fun and interactive way with the help of their mascot Buddy as well as special guest appearances from Ant and Dec.

Obviously this year, with the current restrictions, we are unable to invite you into school to watch our nativity plays. There is currently lots of planning going on in an effort to make sure that performances do still happen and do get to you in some way.

No doubt teachers will soon be sending home letters requesting costumes...or perhaps words or "moves", to rehearse...

 Advent is such an important part of our schools calendar, and we are making every effort to ensure that this year will be just as special  !
