Welcome to our Year 5 Bubble!
It’s the beginning of the Summer Holidays, many of you may be thinking ‘What could we do today?’
We have put together some ideas if you’d like to give them a try…
E-Safety – July 2020
The safety and wellbeing of the children is paramount at Stanhope Primary School. As we are slowly coming out of the recent Covid-19 pandemic, searching for some normality we would like to make you aware of the latest issues around young people.
Many young people are using the internet for school work and also personal reasons. On the whole, issues such as knife crime are lower since the beginning of lockdown, but unfortunately there are many E-Safety issues on the rise.
Please be aware of your child’s activities online as the following have increased.
- Inappropriate searches (such as exploitation, pornography etc)
- Anonymous chat and stranger danger incidents.
This is having a huge effect on young children’s mental health. It has seen the biggest increase.

We would like to wish you luck and happiness in your new schools. We hope you make many new friends.
Goodbye-you will all be missed.
Due to recent school closure, ours pupils at Stanhope Primary School were unable to have a transition period with their new class teachers. As a small introduction, hoping to ease and settle nerves, we have put together some information you may find useful.
Nursery
Dear Parents,
Due to the recent pandemic and the quick lockdown rules, we were unable to collect in the children’s reading or library books. As the end of the summer term is fast approaching, we ask you kindly to return these to school on the day you are due to collect your child’s school report.
Thank you for your support.
