E-Safety Mobile phones and computers are a source of fun, entertainment, communication and education. However, we know that some adults and young people will use these technologies to harm children. The harm might range from sending hurtful or abusive texts and emails, to enticing children to engage in sexually harmful conversations online, webcam filming, photography or face-to-face meetings. The school’s e-safety policy explains how we try to keep students and staff safe in school. Cyber-bullying by students via texts and emails, will be treated as seriously as any other type of bullying and will be managed through our anti-bullying procedures. Chatrooms and social networking sites are the more obvious sources of inappropriate and harmful behaviour and students are not allowed to access these sites in school. If you would like any help or support with any aspects of E-safety the following websites offer excellent parental guidance. https://www.thinkuknow.co.uk/parents/ http://www.nspcc.org.uk/help-and-advice/for-parents/keeping-your-child-safe/using-the-internet/internetsafety We would also like to draw your attention to the following videos which highlight some of the common risks facing our young people on a daily basis: https://www.thinkuknow.co.uk/parents/Secondary/Conversation-Starters/Go-to-the-movies/ Consequences/ https://www.thinkuknow.co.uk/parents/Secondary/Conversation-Starters/Go-to-the-movies/Exposed/ https://www.thinkuknow.co.uk/parents/Secondary/Conversation-Starters/Go-to-the-movies/Matt-Thought -He-Knew/ 18
CEIAG: Post-16 Further Education and Training Information for Students Raising participation legislation requires you to continue on in education or training until at least your 18th birthday.

Steps to applying Throughout years 10 and 11, you will be informed about 6th form and college open days. It is extremely useful to visit a number of different providers. You can take your parents, carers or friends with you. At the start of year 11, there will be presentations from local colleges and 6th forms in school.
