WhatsApp is the most widely used messaging platform on the planet, with over two billion users (forecast to become three billion by 2025), across more than 180 countries. The majority of those people (70%) open the app at least once a day – but what exactly are they seeing? Contact from strangers, fake news and convincing scams are all among the service’s well-documented hazards.
According to Ofcom, WhatsApp is used by more than half of 3- to 17-year-olds in the UK (including one in three from the 8–11 bracket). If your child hops onto WhatsApp to stay in touch with friends or family, this week’s updated #WakeUpWednesday guide to the service contains the key details you’ll need to support them in doing it safely.
Please see our joint letter,
Dear Parents
We are writing to inform you of proposed changes to the start times of the school day at both schools in order to meet the Government recommendation of 32 ½ hours for the length of the school week. In making adjustment we have been mindful that many families have children across both schools and nursery. The proposed changes allow time for those families needing to drop off / collect at both schools and nursery.

Happy Healthy Active Holidays runs holiday clubs during the Easter, Summer and Christmas school holidays. There are funded spaces available to children in reception through to year 11 who receive benefit-related free school meals.
The Department for Education (HAF Programme) funds each place you book. And so it won’t cost anything to attend. Each club will have a range of fun activities such as sports, cooking, dance, music, arts and crafts, and a nutritious meal each day.
For further information, and to book places, please visit the Happy Healthy Holidays website at: https://hhah.telford.gov.uk
