Information on Safer Internet Day, 8th Feb 2011
8th Annual Safer Internet Day focusing on enjoying gaming safely.

Safer Internet Day, now in its 8th year, is celebrated in over 65 countries and it is an opportunity to recognise the importance of the Internet in the lives of children and young people, and to help work to ensure that they and those that support children, parents, carers, grandparents, teachers, know how to get the most out of this resource and use it safely and responsibly. The focus this year, particularly in the UK is on games and gaming, as well as communicating the wider message that online actions can have offline consequences, both now and in the future. Research shows that games are enormously popular with children, with 86% of 9-16s using the internet to play games, and in terms of online activity for young people it comes second only to school work.
The top messages for the day for the various user groups to take away are that games are fun - indeed the first words that come into children’s heads when talking about games are, ‘friends, free, fun, competitive, multiplayer and chatting to friends – but to remember that internet safety messages and advice apply to games as well as other online activities, and there are tools available to help.

Late collection of Children During the week Monday 17th to Friday 21st January a total of 49 children were collected as late as 4.30pm at the end of the school day. Over the following weeks we will be closely monitoring this situation. Persistent lateness in collecting your child from school may result in a referral to the Education Welfare Services and a charge for providing childcare.
