Digital Leader – Year 4, 5 & 6

We are excited to launch a brand‑new Digital Leader role for pupils in Years 4, 5 and 6. This initiative gives children the opportunity to take an active role in shaping how technology is used safely and responsibly throughout our school.

Digital Leaders are pupils who have a passion for technology and want to help others use it confidently and safely. They will work together as a team to promote positive digital habits, support their classmates, and help staff develop a strong culture of e‑safety.

Technology is a huge part of everyday life and helping children understand how to stay safe online is more important than ever. Our Digital Leaders will play a key role in:

  • Encouraging safe and respectful online behaviour
  • Raising awareness of online risks and how to avoid them
  • Supporting school events such as Safer Internet Day
  • Sharing tips and advice with pupils across the school
  • Helping teachers review and improve e‑safety practices

Children selected for this role will take part in a range of exciting activities, including:

  • Leading assemblies and class discussions on e‑safety
  • Creating posters, videos and resources to share with the school
  • Testing new apps and tools to ensure they are safe and appropriate
  • Helping younger pupils with digital tasks
  • Acting as positive role models for responsible online behaviour

To apply for this role, children need to return their completed application form to their class teacher by Friday 30th January. Successful candidates will be announced in the last week of half term.

Free School Meals

Many of our families are already benefiting from applying for Free School Meals, and we encourage you to check whether you may also be eligible.

It is a common misconception that Free School Meals are only linked to school dinners — there is so much more to it. If you qualify, your child is also entitled to reduced prices for school trips, breakfast club, and after‑school clubs. In addition, there are a range of other forms of support your child may receive, both at home and in school, to help them with their learning and wellbeing.

Families with children from Reception to Year 6 can apply for Free School Meals if they receive certain benefits and have an annual income of £16,190 or below.

To find out more or to apply, please follow the link below to the Telford & Wrekin website, where you can access further information and download the application form. Alternatively, our school office team will be happy to support you with the application process.

Harry Potter Studios Trip on 12th December 2026

Harry Potter Studios Trip on 12th December 2026

This is a gentle reminder that our school trip to Harry Potter studios is on Monday (12th December 2026) Please see the following information and reminders:

  • Departure: The bus will be at the bus stop on Rock Road and not at school, so please bring your child here and stay with them until the adults arrive and allow them to enter the bus. Please note we will be getting on the bus at 6.45am and leaving at 7am. We will not be able to wait for children who are late due to entering the tour at our allotted time.
  • Travel sickness: If your child suffers from travel sickness, please give them a tablet prior to dropping them off at school. Should they require an additional tablet for the return journey, please inform us via your child’s reading diary. We will then provide you with a medication form, which needs to be returned to school, along with the tablet in its original packaging.
  • Lunch: Children need to bring a healthy packed lunch and drink with them (no sweets or chocolates as this can make children sick on long journeys). Please can lunches be in a small, empty backpack or in a plastic bag; children will need to go through security and carry their bags around with them all day. They will not need reading diaries or homework books.
  • Uniform: Children are to wear their school uniform, with comfortable trainers.
  • Gift Shop: There should be a small amount of time for children to visit the gift shop. Therefore, if you would like, your child can bring up to £15 spending money. Children will be responsible for looking after their own money all day which is why we have limited it to £15.

We will update you with an estimated time of arrival back at school via the website and social media. We hope for this to be by 5:45pm.

Thank you for your continued support.
