Parents Coffee Morning (Online Safety): 31st March 2025
Dear Parents, Guardians & Carers
Hope you are well and looking forward to the Easter break. We would like to invite you to a coffee morning and presentation on Online Safety at Alt Bridge School. As our children continue to engage more with digital platforms, it is essential to equip both them and ourselves with the knowledge and tools to navigate the online world safely. We are seeing a rise in incidents and issues surrounding the use of messaging platforms and social media that have been distressing to our students.
Details of the event are as follows:
Date: 31st March 2025
Time: 10:30am to 11:30am
Location: Alt Bridge School
During this session, we will be discussing key aspects of online safety, including how to protect children from online risks, understanding social media platforms, and the importance of privacy settings. There will also be practical tips on how to talk to your children about their online experiences and monitor their activities.
We encourage you to come along, ask questions, and share experiences with other parents. This is a wonderful opportunity to enhance our collective understanding of the online challenges our children face, and we believe that your participation will greatly benefit the whole school community.
Refreshments will be provided, and we look forward to seeing you there.
Please confirm your attendance by returning clicking the link below and reply online so we can ensure we have enough space and refreshments for everyone.

Gold Artsmark Award
Pupils and staff at Alt Bridge School are celebrating after receiving a prestigious Gold Artsmark Award.
Artsmark is the only creative quality standard for schools, accredited by Arts Council England. It transforms teaching through creativity, empowering teachers with the skills they need to embed arts, culture and creativity across the whole curriculum, and is proven to support pupil outcomes and wellbeing.
To achieve their Artsmark Award, Alt Bridge School had to develop their arts and cultural provision to embed a broad and ambitious curriculum. This was achieved by creating an overall plan that was committed to and delivered across the whole school.
Over two years, Alt Bridge School received professional support through an immersive learning programme from Artsmark’s delivery partner, Goldsmiths, University of London, who are world-renowned leaders in creative pedagogy and cultural placemaking.
“All pupils can access a consistent and diverse range of arts and cultural provision through work with local arts and cultural organisations, in school, and on visits outside the classroom, which leads to newly developed showcasing throughout school.” The Artsmark Assessor commended Alt Bridge School on the 29th November 2024.
