We remind all students to keep safe during the holiday period. Always ensure a parent or carer knows where you are heading. Keep well away from canals, locks and railways in particular. Be mindful that behaviour outside school can bring Campion into disrepute and will be followed up accordingly in school when required. Ensure you behave safely and respectfully in our wider community.
We also know that over the Christmas period, many of your children will be receiving new devices! We want to support parents and carers in ensuring these devices are set up safely and used responsibly. We have therefore provided a link to the Internet Matters website which contains guides on managing your child’s devices, apps and platforms. The link can be found here: Parental controls & privacy settings guides | Internet Matters

Yours sincerely
Mrs K Johnson
Assistant Headteacher
