We have received the following notification from Holy Trinity Academy:

A report from a parent this morning 8.05am

A year 7 boy walked home from school (Holy Trinity Academy) and waited at a bus stop on Priorslee Avenue for his grandmother. A grey blue van pulled up and pointed to him to get in the back of the van. Fortunately nan pulled up to pick the student up and the van drove off. Student very distressed mum has contacted the police.

The closing dates for school applications are:

PLEASE NOTE CHANGE OF DATE AND LOCATION.

Now here- letters out soon.

Child Development level 1 – Donnington Infant and Junior.docx

Sent from my iPad

We have been advised that there is a new APP that is going viral among many (primary and secondary) school age pupils. The APP is called DOKI DOKI (literature club).

The game is advertised as a school dating app and does not require parental checks to download. It is a free APP and although users should be 13+ years children can easily agree to being over the age. Once downloaded, children have ready access to their own account.

The APP begins as a colourful and light-hearted game but takes a sinister turn within an hour of children playing where their online friend starts to talk about depression and eventually commits suicide.

The advice is not to download this app.

Kind regards
