Safer Internet Day 2019 will be celebrated globally on Tuesday 5th February with the slogan: ‘Together for a better Internet’.
Coordinated in the UK by the UK Safer Internet Centre the celebration sees hundreds of organisations get involved and join a national conversation about using technology responsibly, respectfully, critically and creatively.
The day offers the opportunity to highlight positive uses of technology and to explore the role we all play in helping to create a better and safer online community. It calls upon young people, parents, carers, teachers, social workers, law enforcement, companies, policymakers, and wider, to join together and help to create a better internet.
I am pleased to inform you that our Ofsted report has now been finalised and is ready for publication to students, parents, staff and governors. It will also be available on the Ofsted website on Wednesday 28th March.
I am delighted to confirm that we have been judged as good in every section of the report, with the exception of personal development, welfare and behaviour, which has been judged as outstanding. These combined judgements give the school an overall effectiveness grading of good.
