Dear Parents,
I want to begin this week’s newsletter by acknowledging the very upsetting turn of events in the Ukraine. Whilst we are geographically removed from the situation, we are sharply aware that many in our community will be directly affected or may have family and other connections in the region. The news and social media feeds are filled with the latest information, and some of it is very upsetting and worrying. Children listening and viewing distressing images can become frightened and fearful and so, as the situation unfolds, our staff community is cognisant of supporting pupils and families who may be affected. We have today shared resources to ensure that conversations and discussions will be handled sensitively and appropriately should they arise.
