• NSPCC Visit

  Thu 04 Oct 2018

  As you know, the NSPCC visited our school today and delivered their Speak out. Stay safe. assembly to share information with your child about how they can keep themselves safe from harm and get help if they have any worries.

   

  It was a very worthwhile and empowering session for both pupils and teachers.  They spoke to the children and staff about the valuable work they do across the country, and talked about how important it is for everyone in our school community to join them in their 'fight for every childhood'.

   

  Talking PANTS with your children

   

  The NSPCC's work in schools will help encourage conversations about staying safe - and they have a number of child-friendly materials to help you carry on the conversation afterwards.  That includes 'Talk PANTS', a simple way for parents to help keep children safe from sexual abuse - without using scary words or even mentioning sex.

   

  The guide uses the rules of PANTS to teach children that their body belongs to them and them alone.  You can find out more and download the free resources at nspcc.org.uk/pants

   

  If you'd like to know more about the NSPCC's work, or take a look at the wise range of information and advice which is available for parents and carers, please visit their website spcc.org.uk/parents

   

  Yours sincerely,

   

  Mrs Allott

• General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)

  Thu 24 May 2018

  Things are changing!

  As of May 25th 2018 the current Data Protection Act 1998 will be replaced by the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). This will affect how schools manage personal data and how this is protected. Although Kingsley Primary School is committed to protecting and respecting the confidentiality of sensitive information relating to pupils, staff, parents, governors and the wider community, the introduction of this new legislation has meant that we are reviewing our current good practice to ensure compliance of the new legislation.

   

  School is working closely with the Local Authority and our Data Protection Officer and will be updating privacy notices, policies and consent forms in the coming weeks. These will be available on our school website.

   

  If you require any additional information please contact the school office.

• Stray Aid Swap Shop!

  Mon 21 May 2018

  We are very excited to be hosting a swap shop during morning break on Monday 21st May. 

   

  It would be incredibly helpful if parents/carers could send in some delicious cakes or cookies to encourage people to swap old towels, bedding, blankets, tins of dog food or 50p for a cake or a cookie. 

   

  All items and money raised will go to Stray Aid. 

   

  Thank you so much for everything you have already contributed and your continued support for our chosen cause.

   

  From

  Kingsley School Council.

• Table Tennis Tournament

  Mon 26 Mar 2018
  On Tuesday the 13th of March four boys and four girls attended Dyke House school for a table tennis tournament. They played against 6 different schools from across the town. The competition was tough for both boys and girls. Luckily, they finished first. Which means they can progress to represent Hartlepool in another tournament later in the year.
