Stanhope Primary School

During Sports day and the rest of this week, Year 6 have been fundraising for their end of year trips. They decided to create a ‘guess a square’ game and the winner would be presented with a sports hamper. This was a great success and thank you to everyone who purchased a square, the winner was announced today – number 195, and the prize has been passed on. Year 6 raised a total of £44.50!!

We have been asked by the local authority to pass on the following information to all parents/carers:

Tellonym Application

Important safeguarding information for school staff, parents and carers  .

South Tyneside Local Safeguarding Children Board have been made aware of the potential dangers associated with the use of the application  “Tellonym” (a play on the words “Tell on him”)

The app is available as a free download on the Apple Istore and Google Play and is not regulated.

Tellonym advertises itself as  “ the most honest place on the internet. See what your friends think of you, answer anonymous questions and ask others the things you have never dared …”.

The facility to allow anonymous postings has seen users (of any age) post a wide range of inappropriate messages, comments and photographs which have caused upset and distress to children and young people using the application which has required intervention from the police and other services.

As part of Child Safety Week 4^th – 10^th June, The Word are offering Online Safety Session for parents to provide advice and guidance around keeping children safe online
