Dear Parents and Carers,
We are aware that a very large proportion of the Year 6 children have mobile phones and use WhatsApp amongst other social media sources. Online safety is regularly and frequently discussed at Yapton C. of E. Primary School. This does include reminders about the age restrictions for different Apps.
We have been made aware of some concerning comments on the WhatsApp group chat called Yr 6 group.
Lots of the children have indicated that their home-grown-ups regularly check their online activity including the messages they read, write and send. Please can you spend a few moments checking to see if your child is part of this particular group and, if you are not already, become aware of the content your child is reading and sometimes adding or replying to.
The children who are (or have been) members of this group have been told that this message was being sent, so they may have already spoken to you.
Take care
Chris Hughes
Deputy Headteacher
