Norton Parent News
Dear Parents and Carers,
The pace of school has got faster and faster as we approach the end of term, everything seems to go so fast.
I am pleased to report that I have hosted visits from prospective families wanting to transfer to our school. Mrs Byrne is really happy for our school netball team - that we have a very Sporty Year 6 Boy joining us in September – our children made the family feel so welcome… well done!
ONLINE SAFETY
I am sad to report we have had issues of Online Bullying come to light in school. Large numbers of our children are also in up to 50 WhatsApp groups with many individuals they do not know.
This is very risky behaviour. In one evening, one of our children’s school based Whatsapp Groups had over 300 messages. It is likely these are being sent overnight, in the early hours of the morning. As the summer approaches, I will be providing you with support and resources for Parental Controls.
Our children need you to keep them safe.
Kind regards,
Connel Boyle
