#WakeUpWednesday
This #WakeUpWednesday, National Online Safety have created a free online safety guide for schools to share with parents and carers about Grand Theft Auto (GTA); the 18+ rated game in which sex, violence, profane language and nudity form the main themes of the game. Popular for its criminal narrative, the GTA series encourages users to break the law in order to succeed and progress through the game.
With over 100 million users on the game's online social club alone, Grand Theft Auto is hugely popular amongst young people under the age of 18!
Please feel free to share our guide for parents and carers across your social platforms:

Creating a Geographer!
‘A graduate from Royal Holloway visited Winston and worked with year 9 students. Students looked at topical geographical issues in the news and created an ideal geographer’
Lost Property
We would love to reunite the following items with their owners!! I am sure that parents have spent a considerable sum of money on the coats and other items that are found around the school. We have advertised to students to come to collect their possessions, with little impact. If these items are not claimed they will be sent to a charity shop.
