Online Safety

In today’s digital world, children have greater access to technology than ever before. While the internet offers many educational and social benefits, it’s essential to ensure that children stay safe online. We teach our students about the importance of staying safe online and the lasting impact their digital footprint can have on their future. However, we greatly appreciate the support you provide at home in reinforcing these vital lessons.

We encourage you to:
✅ Monitor your child’s online activity – Know what apps, games, and websites they are using.
✅ Set parental controls – Use filters and privacy settings to protect them from inappropriate content.
✅ Encourage open conversations – Talk to your child about online dangers, including cyberbullying and speaking to strangers.
✅ Promote safe habits – Teach them to use strong passwords, avoid sharing personal information, and think before they post.

For more information on keeping your child safe online, we have compiled a selection of parent guides covering key topics such as age ratings, gaming, popular apps, and managing screen time. You can access these resources on our Online Safety page here: https://www.baschurchprimary.org.uk/home/parents-area/handbook/online-safety/

We appreciate your support in helping to create a safe and responsible online environment for our children.

Our Christian Value of the half term – Humility

Dear Parents/Carers,

At Baschurch, our Christian values guide and inspire us each day. This half term, we are focusing on the value of Humility—recognising the importance of kindness, gratitude, and putting others before ourselves.

Through our worship, lessons, and daily interactions, we will encourage children to reflect on humility by:
🙏 Learning from the example of Jesus and other inspiring figures.
🤝 Celebrating acts of kindness, service, and teamwork.
💬 Encouraging a mindset of gratitude and respect for others.

We invite you to join us in exploring this value at home by discussing the importance of humility and recognizing moments when your child demonstrates it in their daily life. Please see the link below for some helpful ideas of how you can explore this value at home.

Thank you for your continued support in nurturing our school’s Christian ethos.

Headlice

It has come to our attention that we may have some unwelcome visitors in school. We would be grateful for your support in eradicating the lice. Please examine your child’s hair thoroughly and regularly and treat where necessary as soon as possible.  We also ask that you keep your child’s hair tied back whilst at school.

You may contact your GP, health visitor or pharmacist for more information.

Thank you for your co-operation.
