Pupil_icon_2 For Pupils
Each class has it's own area - see the section list on the right of this screen - in which the class teacher will be able to add any information relevant to their class, topic or an event. In addition to this there is a dedicated pupil area, where pupils are invited to become junior editors and add content themselves (reviews of books or films, news items, or their very own multimedia creations).
Recently launched as well is the Wiki- a collaborative project where the pupils can create, edit and link articles.

Parent_icon For Parents
The Parents Information area is updated when required by Mr. Harrison with news that is relevant to parents and carers of the pupils. In addition the school P.T.A. have a section where they post news about events they are running.

Staff_icon For Staff
For staff of the school there is a secure area just for you in which you can transfer files, documents and activities. Also within this area are useful websites for resources.

Comment_icon Interaction
The whole website has been developed so that most of the information provided can be commented upon where appropriate by any visitor to any article. Please be aware that for children's safety, any comments will be held and moderated before appearing on the website.

Feed_icon Use RSS
We've set up a variety of RSS feeds for those of you that know what they are and how they work. You can receive our regular text feeds, or receive the audio feed - where the latest additions can be read out to you. Using the feeds means that you can receive the latest articles directly on your computer, mobile phone or MP3 player without needing to keep visiting the website;

Audio_icon Podcasting
A new idea that we have been testing, and became regular in September, is the pupil podcast of the weeks news within school. Listen to the pupils themselves reporting on the latest events in school.

Map_icon Where in the world
The Platial Map activity is a feature that we hope will build up over time to show how far and wide our pupils travel around the world.
