Safer Internet Day
On Tuesday 6th February we will be joining schools and youth organisations across the UK in celebrating Safer Internet Day 2024. Safer Internet Day is a global campaign to promote the safe and responsible use of technology, which calls on young people, parents, carers, teachers, social workers, law enforcement, companies, policymakers and more, to help to create a better internet.
This year the campaign will be focusing on change online, this includes covering:
• Young people’s perspective on new and emerging technology
• Using the internet to make change for the better
• The changes young people want to see online
• The things that can influence and change the way young people think, feel and act online and offline
Using the internet safely and positively is a key message that we promote in school, and celebrating Safer Internet Day is a great opportunity for us to re-emphasise the online safety messages we deliver throughout the year.
We would be delighted if you could join us in celebrating the day by continuing the conversation at home. To help you with this, for the UK Safer Internet Centre have created some free activities and information for parents and carers which are available at: saferinternet.org.uk/SID-parents.
Whether you have 5 minutes to start a conversation or hours to spare, there are top tips, quizzes and films which you can use at home with your child.
If you have any concerns or questions about keeping your child safe online, please do get in touch with myself, our safeguarding team or any other member of our staff.

Holocaust Memorial Day 2024
Residents and school pupils gathered at the Warwick War Memorial last week to mark Holocaust Memorial Day. Four Year 9 students, Bea, Emma, Noah and Sam attended on behalf of Myton School. This year’s theme for the Memorial Day was ‘Fragility of Freedom’, and Bea and Sam read a poem by Holocaust survivor, Elie Wiesel called ‘Never Shall I Forget’.
The Reverend Jonathan Hearn remarked at the end of the ceremony that ‘Never Shall I Forget’ is powerful sentiment which reminds us that freedom should never be taken for granted’
