Competition Winners
Once again, we received some fantastic entries for the competition, making judging tough. Well done to all the schools and pupils who took part. The two winning schools are:
The Hall Primary School "We launched the competition during our Safer Internet Day assembly and then put up the display with post-it notes ready for the children. It gave them a chance to think about their tips and reflect over time as they did a different topic each day. It was great to see pupils from KS1 upwards getting involved and crowding around the display in order to get their ideas up."
Rishworth School
