Parents of children in Y6 – remember that you need to apply for a secondary school place by the 31st October 2023! We have shared here a helpful animation from CYC that explains the process, and you can read more about the applying for a secondary school place here.
In 2021, the NCA cited that 42% of parents in the UK share pictures of their children online – half of them doing so at least once a month 👶 Why would they not? Parenthood – and the magical memories we create with our children – is something to be celebrated and chronicled: in an ideal world, at least.
In reality, the topic has become increasingly complex – with respect for other people’s children who might also be in the photos and our own child’s future feelings among the considerations. This week’s #WakeUpWednesday guide assesses the potential pitfalls of publicly posting our pics.

Please note that applying early does not give any priority, although to have the best chance of your application being successful you should complete and submit your application by the deadline which is 15th January 2024. Late applications can be made after this date, though these may be looked at after other applications.
Applications for entry into reception can be made by using the online form to apply for a school place.

With the school summer holidays only a matter of days away, many parents and carers will already be planning outings and activities to keep their young ones entertained. In between those special summer moments, though, there are also likely to be occasions when children happily invest a whole afternoon in Among Us or spend most of their Monday on Minecraft.
As young people’s screen time almost inevitably increases over the holidays, parents like to feel confident that their child will stay safe while they’re exploring the digital world. So we’ve produced a #WakeUpWednesday poster with some simple solutions to help children avoid frequent online pitfalls and enjoy a more positive experience when they go online this summer.
