We’ve come to the end of another academic year. What a lovely last term it’s been, with lots to reminisce about. Memories and friends were made at our annual Year 7 Camp. Our Acting Academy’s hard work and effort paid off and they put on a wonderful performance of ‘The Importance of Being Earnest’ at the Viaduct Theatre in Halifax. We’ve welcomed our soon-to-be Year 7 students and their families into the school for Transition Evening and given them a taste of Ryburn life with Transition Day. And we can’t forget our amazing Academy Awards!
National Online Safety has released a new guide for students and their parents/carers. With the Summer holidays fast approaching, there will definitely be moments when students want to spend some of their downtime online. However, it’s important that they do so safely, and that’s where National Online Safety comes in.
Calderdale Public Health have contacted the school informing us of reports of children being unwell after playing, swimming, or paddling in local rivers and canals.
National Online Safety has released a new guide for parents and carers. This week’s guide focuses on the term ‘money muling’, a form of digital laundering, how it exploits young people and what parents and carers can do to help.
