Smart Watches

Please can children refrain from using smart watches during the school day, particularly those with recording devices. If they have a ‘school mode’ can you please ensure this is activated during school hours, or that the watch is left with a teacher during the day and returned at 3.10pm.

In line with our school’s Digital Safeguarding Policy, we request that any SeeSaw images shared to your child’s journal that contain other children in the class are not downloaded and then shared to any other social media platform (Facebook, Instagram etc).
