BARBRIDGE ROAD BULKINGTON BEDWORTH WARWICKSHIRE CV12 9PF Headteacher: Mrs Cuskelly
Dear Parents/Carers,
As part of our plans to further develop safeguarding awareness for all those involved in the life of
the school, children will be participating in activities within school on Tuesday 10th February as
part of Safer Internet Day 2015. I would encourage you to support us in promoting internet safety
at all times and more information can be found at: http://www.saferinternet.org.uk/safer-internetday/2015
‘’The best defences against any online risks are openness, awareness and education: talk with
your children about their online lives, share their experiences and learn from them, help them to
use technology positively and responsibly, and give them boundaries, guidance and support.’’
If you ever have concerns or questions related to any type of safeguarding, the Designated
Safeguarding lead is myself and Mrs Christine Baggott is the Deputy Designated Safeguarding
lead. We can be contacted via the school office during school hours.
God Bless
Michelle Cuskelly

It takes a great deal of effort, time to run the events that we organise, we are feeling the pressure and want to do so much more. People power is limited, with you help and involvement we can achieve so much more. We apologise for not being able to hold a February Disco, hopefully we can be up and dancing again in March.
