Dear Families

From today, whenever a child has bumped their head in school they will be given a white disposable wristband to wear with the time they bumped their head written on it.  This is a simple way for us to ensure all staff are aware that a child has bumped their head so we can keep an eye on them throughout the day. 

We will still send home a note to advise your child has bumped their head.

If you have any queries please don't hesitate to contact us.

Dear Families

We have just been advised that Hatherley Drive has been closed due to an emergency gas leak. It is likely that the road will remain closed for the next few days while repair work is carried out.

This will affect how you can access Hatherley Crescent at school drop off and pick up times. You can access Hatherley Crescent via Beaulieu Road off the A27 or via Cranleigh Road off of White Hart Lane. Please be aware that this may increase congestion around the school so please avoid driving into the area directly around school if possible and consider parking further away during these busy times. Please be considerate of our neighbours and other road users while these important road works take place.

Dear families,

As we approach the end of term, we would like to remind families of some important expectations around school uniform and health and safety. We have noticed an increase in a few items recently, and we would appreciate your support in ensuring that all children return after Christmas ready for learning and able to participate safely in all activities.

Fake Nails and Make-Up

Recently, we have seen more children coming into school with fake or acrylic nails. These make it difficult for them to access their learning as they are unable hold a pencil properly or type on a laptop for example. These nails are also distracting as the children fiddle with them and can easily get caught and cause injuries. Fake nails are not allowed in school and if children arrive in school with fake nails, they will be asked to remove them. If they are unable to do so, you will be called. This is in line with local secondary school policies. We have also noticed an increase in children wearing make-up. Please make sure all make-up is removed before school as the children will be required to wash any make up off.

PE Kit

Over the course of the last few terms, there has been an increase in children wearing brightly coloured sweatshirts, t-shirts and shorts some of which are branded. Track suits are regularly football strips which are not part of our school uniform. Children must wear the correct PE uniform as set out in our school policy: black or dark green shorts, a plain white or green t-shirt (no branding) and black or dark green track suits. Plain black leggings can be worn.

Earrings

Health and Safety requires that children should only wear small stud earrings. On PE days, earrings should be removed. If your child wears studs and cannot take them out themselves, please ensure they are able to tape their earrings independently. If children do wear dangly or loop earrings, they will be asked to remove them and leave them out.

Shoes

Due to Health and Safety, Crocs are not suitable shoes for school. Please ensure your children wear black, flat shoes suitable for school and are weather appropriate.

Thank you for your help in keeping everyone safe and ready to learn. A copy of our school policy can be found here: https://www.wicor.hants.sch.uk/parents/uniform

Kindest regards,

Good morning,

We have been made aware of a pop-up that is appearing on Roblox, encouraging children to download an app called pollybuzz (or pollyfuzz in some spelling cases). The app seems quite simple, where children are asked questions, and it generates an Artificial Intelligence ‘friend’ – this starts off quite innocently but then begins to show extreme content (including suicide, self-harm and pornography). It may be helpful to remind children about not clicking on pop-ups in games and to report anything that is worrying or inappropriate to a trusted adult. Roblox has parental controls and instructions of how to put these on can be accessed via this link:

Parental Controls Overview – Roblox Support .

Also, we have had a report about Sadkid246 on YouTube, which involves a Roblox player with voice chat enabled. In the clip, disturbing screaming sounds were heard, allegedly indicating the child was being beaten while playing Roblox.

Rumors claimed the child was punished for using a parent’s credit card to buy Robux, and some even speculated he died or his mother was arrested. None of these claims were ever confirmed.

Investigations by YouTubers and community members suggest the video was likely staged or a hoax. Over time, the story turned into a creepypasta/urban legend within the Roblox community, spawning memes, horror games, and fake accounts using the name Sadkid246.

Please remember that parental controls will stop some pop-ups and unwanted content, but not all, so appropriate supervision is still required.

Many thanks,

Dear parents/carers,

We are really pleased that our breakfast club is such a well used and valued resource. Bookings are plentiful so to ensure safety of all children, and to comply with adult/child ratios required, we are asking that any bookings made for a breakfast club space are made in advance and by 7.30pm the night before it is needed. This will allow us to ask additional staff to come into work the following morning. 

This means from today, you will no longer be able to book a space for breakfast club after 7.30pm for the following morning.
