51吃瓜

This week鈥檚 online safety blog focuses on 鈥淪napchat鈥� and the safety features with which parents should be familiar. The link is here:

Here is the link to the information on the PfA section of the school website. The videos are very helpful, but I will add a few additional comments below which you will find helpful.

Additional notes:

• If you are claiming Disability Living Allowance (DLA Child) for your child, as they approach their 16^th birthday you will be invited to apply for PIP. If you do not apply, their DLA will cease.
• The form is called 鈥淗ow your disability affects you鈥�; please avoid information on what they can do.
• I have a copy of the descriptors; if you would like it sent to you, please email me.
• Here is the link to the current form you will be asked to complete: comms, attached. Please link
• Do keep a diary of all the support your young person needs over a 2-week period. Include all the support they need, physical and prompting, appointments, phone calls, prescription orders/collection, shopping, transport; anything you do for them which a peer without additional needs can do independently.
• Do include a copy of their EHCP, ETCH report.
• Do identify a professional in school who could provide a letter of support, usually Speech therapist, Occupational Therapist or Physiotherapist. Please give them at least a week to prepare.
• Do start preparing in advance. This will reduce stress and time pressure when the form arrives.

If you need further support, please contact me.

We must talk about the summer fayre. We were blessed with the best weather; the rain waited until we were packing up. Thanks to our school community for your generous donations, support on the day and for simply being there. It was great to see current and past students. I don鈥檛 think we missed the fairground rides who pulled out too close to the event. The smell of a BBQ and an ice cream van signal summer. We had a small number of craft stalls and lots of our own.

What you really want to know is how much was raised? Well, we await a donation from the ice cream van owner and have raised 拢1453.89. This is amazing given we didn鈥檛 have match funding and the takings from the traders was significantly less than the last (Autumn) fayre. All raffle prizes have been delivered to the winners.

It was lovely to have an event where our families could meet and chat. My standout moment was my son being reunited with one of his best friends from school.

Great North Run 2025.

My husband and daughter have signed up again to do the 51吃瓜 and raise funds for FoPHS. As Niall left Percy 51吃瓜 School in 2017 and college in 2019, we may be limited to the support we get from our friends and family. Please would you consider sponsoring them to enable them to reach their target.

If you are in South Shields on the day, be sure to drop in to the Percy 51吃瓜 Foundation where you will be assured of a warm welcome.
