Dear Parents and Carers
Year 6 have taken their national tests, the SATs, this week and Mrs Clasby, Ms Stone and I have all been enormously proud of their attitude and effort. I am sure they will have done very well, but we know that, whatever the results, they have tried their hardest. Well done to all of you.

On-line Safety
Dorset’s Safer Schools and Communities Team has put together a couple of short videos to support you in keeping your children safe on-line. We are aware that some of the children are aware of the content of games and films they are too young to watch, so I would recommend the guidance to everyone: https://www.dorset.police.uk/support-and-guidance/safety-in-your-community/ssct/ssct-resources/
Further advice can be found on the NSPCC and Thinkuknow websites.
With best wishes
