Following an incident in a primary school where children received inappropriate images and messages, we would like to remind parents to help their children stay safe online.

Both Instagram and Twitter have a minimum age policy of 13. Whilst many parents choose to allow younger children to use these services, we cannot recommend this. To keep their children safe on social media parents should ensure that the correct privacy settings are enabled, and that appropriate adult supervision is provided.

Ox Close Primary School has recently achieved the Sainsbury’s School Games Mark Silver Award. This is a fantastic achievement and serves to highlight the level of commitment by the school to developing sports, clubs, competitions and young leaders.

The Sainsbury’s School Games Mark is a Government led awards scheme launched in 2012 to reward schools for their commitment to the development of competition across their school and into the community.

Further information about this can be found at Sainsbury’s School Games

Last Friday, the children and staff at Ox Close took part in their annual Pirate Day. It was incredible to see the amount of time and effort given to each costume. Throughout the day, house teams took part in a number of Pirate based activities in an attempt to gain the most treasure. Well done and thank you to everyone involved, including those who generously sponsored children.

All of the children in our new Reception class have been busy painting pictures of themselves. I am sure you will agree, they have done an absolutely fantastic job! But can you guess who each one is?
