Good morning
Please find our latest online safety newsletter attached.
Online Safety Newsletter Primary May 2025
Thank you
Mrs Shemwell
South Yorkshire Police and Social Care have received concerning information regarding a new social media App called ‘Frog’. The App is aimed at a Primary aged audience and has recently exploded in popularity. Police have significant concerns as the App is primarily targeted at primary aged children. The App has very limited identity verification requirements.
Specialist Police partners have seen significant information suggesting there is a legitimate risk to Primary aged children being groomed.
This week is Safeguarding Awareness Week and, following a request from the community, Rotherham LEA have produced a short awareness session on how people can spot the signs of Child Exploitation.
The session provides an overview of child exploitation, some of the signs you may see where you live or work and how you can respond confidently to concerns. The video lasts for 15 minutes and can be viewed using the link below.
Safeguarding is everyones responsibility.
A huge thank you to parents, pupils and staff this week, for being adaptable and throwing yourselves into our new way of working with such enthusiasm! You all deserve a lovely weekend off!
I have attached for your information a letter about online learning here. There are some important points in the letter that you need to read, so please take the time to look through this, paying particular attention to the bold text.
Take care everyone and happy Friday!
Mrs Adair and Mrs Gurner
