At Timberley Academy we are committed to ensuring the safety of our children, including online usage. Our Computing Curriculum aims to teach pupils about internet safety and what they should do if they find something inappropriate, whilst using software and games both at school and at home.

In school, we have software in place which automatically identifies unsuitable words or materials on the internet and immediately blocks them. 

The National Online Safety has produced some posters and resources to help support and advise parents with useful information and handy tips. Copies of these are attached below and will be put up around school for parents/carers and children to read.

There will be a literacy production of Treasure Island on Friday 15th March 2019, for children in Reception to Y6. 

There is a £1 admission charge for each child, which can be paid on ParentPay. 

All children have now been sent home with a letter, containing a unique username and password, to set up your ParentPay accounts. We are encouraging Parents/Carers to pay for items online, to limit the amount of cash coming into the office. 

ParentPay is a safe and secure website.

Dear Parents/Carers,

As you may have seen on the news, there is a new trend named the ‘Momo Challenge’ spreading across the internet and social media. It consists of a horrifying character which appears on YouTube, Fortnite, and many other platforms your children may be using to play games or watch videos.

The doll haunts children to add a contact on messaging service WhatsApp, then hounds them with violent images and dares. We are aware that MOMO requesting children to add a number into their phones is also used as a hacking technique, used to steal personal information.

Parents/Carers are encouraged to talk to their children about internet safety and monitor what content your children are accessing. It has been reported that Momo will appear midway through a streamed episode of Peppa Pig and other child friendly shows, games or videos. We advise you all to be vigilant.   

A downloadable guide offering further guidance and advice on dealing with this matter, can be found on the 'National Online Safety' website:

https://nationalonlinesafety.com/...guides/momo-online-safety-guide-for-parents

It is extremely important that you are all made aware of these online challenges, to help limit the chance of your children being targeted.

Thank you for your co-operation.
