Social, Emotional and Behaviour Difficulties Team – Parents Helpline
A helpline for parents seeking advice about managing child’s behaviour has been introduced by Essex County Council. Please see the helpline flyer for details of how to contact a member of the team.

E-Safety
At North Primary School we take e-safety seriously and children in all year groups get taught about e-safety at an age appropriate level at the start of every term. A reminder of this is included in teacher’s termly letters to parents which provides links to useful sites. The e-safety letter sent to all parents in January 2018 contains more information.

Please also see summaries of the the Year 6 e-safety information and questionnaire carried out in December 2019 and Year 5 letter to parents and workshop information following lessons in January 2020.
