The government is launching a service called Emergency Alerts service in the UK, which will warn individuals if there is a danger to life nearby. In an emergency situation, they will receive an alert on their mobile phone or tablet with advice about staying safe. The government does not need your mobile phone number or location to send you an alert.

The government will send alerts only if severe flooding, fires and extreme weather occur. The agencies responsible for sending these alerts are the emergency services, government departments, agencies and public bodies that deal with emergencies. 

The government is planning a national test on 23 April 2023.

When an individual receives an alert, the phone will make a loud siren-like sound, even if it’s set on silent, vibrate or read out the alert. This will last for around 10 seconds.

Domestic abuse charities in the UK have expressed concerns around the alerts, and advise survivors to turn them off on any secret phones. The charity Refuge has created a guide to show people how to turn off emergency alerts.

End of Term Newsletter

Don't forget to make a note of the places where children can eat for free over the Easter holiday. May be a little help during the holidays!

Mrs Morris led us in a whole school worship, thanking God for the wonderful creation of nature He has given to us. We must be stewards of this and look after everything in it! What a beautiful morning to praise the Lord as a school family!

Thank-you to Father Stefan for coming to our KS1 Lenten service. He taught us about his special vestments and Mrs Turner chose some of the Stations of the Cross to focus on. A prayerful afternoon reflecting on the final moments of Our Lord, Jesus' life. 🙏😇🙏

Please click here for this week's newsletter

Staff & children have created some amazing Stations of the Cross around the whole of the school. Children will have the opportunity to journey with Jesus to the Cross, as they walk the Stations and offer Prayers as they pause & reflect 🙏✝️🙏

Come and Play Workshops with Dudley Performing Arts

Come and Play workshops are especially designed for children who are learning a musical instrument with their whole class in school.

DPA have already been teaching the music as part of the weekly sessions and any student taking part can come along. It doesn’t matter how confident your child is; the sessions are friendly, fun, and designed for young children who have not been playing for long.

Use this link to enrol, select the session with the instrument your child is learning, make a note of the session date and come along!

Dudley Performing Arts staff will meet you in reception when you arrive where we can complete registration details and answer any questions.

Each session lasts for an hour; your children will have fun, enjoy playing their instrument with a live band, there is loads of free parking and space for parents to wait onsite during the session. At the end of the hour we will invite you to come into the workshop room to hear what your children have been doing and it is entirely free!

All the Come and Play workshops take place at Resonance, Cable Plaza, Waterfront West, Brierley Hill, DY5 1LW starting at 5.00pm and finishing at 6.00pm.

All you need to do is click this link and we will do the rest.
