Reception Class children

Do you have a child starting reception class?

If so, your child will be participating in the reception baseline assessment (RBA)
within the frst 6 weeks of starting reception. The purpose of the assessment
is to provide the starting point for a progress measure that will help parents
understand how well schools support their pupils to progress between reception
and year 6.

2023 Information for parents: reception baseline assessment (publishing.service.gov.uk)

If you have any questions please do not hesitate to speak to Miss Wright, Mrs Meddins or Mrs Rhodes-Leader.

This website is rated 18+ and is highly dangerous as ANYBODY can chat or video call the children. Please read the information below and follow the link for more information. Mr. Kenyon will be speaking to the children today regarding this website. This is not an app it’s a website that can be accessed from a phone or tablet. PLEASE CHECK YOUR CHILD’S DEVICES AND BROWSING HISTORY.

What Parents Need to Know about Omegle:

Omegle is a website that pairs random strangers for live text or video chats. It ¬first launched in 2009 and its slogan is “Talk to strangers!” There is an option for adult (18+) content and a section for people aged 13+ with parental permission. Anyone can use the site. Users simply go to Omegle.com and then choose ‘Text’ or ‘Video’ chat and the page states how many users are currently online. Depending on the time of day this can be hundreds of thousands. Omegle markets itself as a great way to meet new friends however has been known to feature pornography and inappropriate content within chats, so it’s important parents are aware of the risks associated with the site.
