  16. Parental Engagement • Secondary School is a big change for students, but also for parents and carers-you can’t catch the teacher at the gate like you can at primary school, so:- • We will have a series of workshops to help prepare you for this first year at secondary school and beyond. • Help you as parents/carers understand our expectations of you and how communication in the school works • We will also be coaching parents to be able to coach/support your children. • We will have workshops that look at safeguarding in the school, for example E-safety.

  17. Technology At SSSCS we believe that technology should be embedded throughout the school and that we should utilise both existing and emerging technologies as a means to prepare our students for the digital age. Learning to use online resources appropriately, effectively and safely is an essential part of each student’s education. Students may carry their mobile phones in school, but they must be switched off at all times whilst on school premises.
