  • Year 2 Harvest Assembly

    Fri 15 Oct 2021

    On Monday 11th October, Year 2 performed their 'Harvest Festival' assembly to Victoria Road site. We had lots of fun sharing readings about harvest, singing harvest songs and performing our harvest poem. We even showcased our fabulous harvest artwork too. Well done everyone-what a great assembly! 

     

    Thank you to everyone who brought in donations for harvest. These donations will be going to Burton Soup Kitchen and the charity HOPE. 

  • County Lines

    Fri 15 Oct 2021

    Dear Parents/Carers


    Following our last letter regarding County Lines which we sent in May we wanted to get back in
    touch to remind you that you can still help.


    County Lines is the term used to describe the networks of gangs and organised criminals who
    export illegal drugs into other areas of the country, often smaller areas, using dedicated mobile
    phone lines known as ‘deal lines.’


    They exploit children and vulnerable people to move and store drugs and money. Often, they
    do this using blackmail, intimidation and violence.


    Staffordshire Police are working alongside our partners as part of a County Lines operation
    which has two aims – to arrest members of organised crime gangs who target young and
    vulnerable people, but also to identify young people who are at risk of criminality and to help
    divert them away from criminal exploitation.


    We are asking education establishments and parents to help identify young people who are at
    risk of criminality, so they can be given help.


    There are several signs to look out for that may indicate someone is involved in county lines:

    • repeatedly going missing from school or home and being found in other areas

    • having money, new clothes or electronic devices and they can't explain how they paid for them

    • getting high numbers of texts or phone calls, being secretive about who they're speaking to

    • decline in school or work performance

    • significant changes in emotional or physical well-being

     

    We have produced a podcast which discusses the issue of County Lines and how support
    networks including parents and carers can help to protect children from exploitation. To listen
    to the podcast (episode 6) visit: https://thebeatpodcast.buzzsprout.com/


    No one school in Staffordshire is more or less affected by these problems. We know that the
    overwhelming majority of young people will never be affected by this issue but a conversation
    with your child will help us collectively make a difference. It is critical that young people know
    that there is help available if they are involved in County Lines activity and that they can get
    support from home, school and agencies who work with young people.

    Thank you for your support in this matter.
