Minecraft continues to be a highly popular platform for children, combining creativity, problem-solving and social interaction. While the game can offer positive opportunities for learning and play, features such as public servers, multiplayer modes and in-game communication can create safeguarding challenges. Our latest guide supports educators and parents in understanding these risks and helping children play more safely. The guide explores: • Public server communication and contact with unknown players • Griefing, disruptive behaviour and online conflict • In-game spending and subscription costs • Addictive gameplay loops and balanced screen time • Safer settings, private servers and suitable game modes With clear, practical advice, the guide helps adults set boundaries, encourage safer choices and support responsible Minecraft use.

While some of the Year 5 chefs from Gearies Primary were putting the final touches on their incredible Thai green curry, others were busy whipping up desserts - from colourful fruit yoghurt pots to a silky vanilla cheesecake. A fantastic course all round, delivered with real skill and enthusiasm by Mr Delaney and Mr Kiani. We are so proud of every single young cook. We’re proud to offer experiences like this that help children discover their talents and feel part of a vibrant, supportive school community. GeariesPrimary

Attendance is not optional - It is the difference between falling behind and moving ahead. When students miss school, they do not just miss lessons - they miss learning. Even a few days off quickly add up, and the impact is real: 📉 Students with poor attendance are far more likely to drop a grade - or several at GCSE and Sixth Form. 📈 Students who attend regularly achieve higher results, stronger progress and leave with more choices for their future. 👨‍👩‍👧 Parents & Carers: Every absence matters. Strong attendance now protects your child’s long term success - their grades, their confidence and their future pathways. 🎒 Students: Your future is being built right now. Every lesson you attend moves you closer to your goals. Every lesson you miss puts obstacles in your way. Show up. Stay focused. Protect your chances. Excellent attendance is the expectation, not the exception. Your grades. Your future. Your move.

Online grooming is a serious and growing threat, with offenders using a range of tactics to build trust with children and young people before exploiting that relationship. This can happen across social media, gaming platforms, messaging apps and group chats, often through fake identities, flattery, gifts or pressure. Our latest guide highlights key risks, including: • Strangers using fake identities • Exploitation through gifts and flattery • Group chats creating hidden pathways • Gaming platforms becoming grooming gateways • Sextortion, criminal grooming and radicalisation The guide also offers practical advice for parents and educators on recognising warning signs, understanding the platforms children use and creating open, regular conversations.

Last week, Year 5 students from Gearies Primary School impressed us with their starters - creating delicious fruit kebabs and a classic Caesar salad. 🍓🥗 On Friday last week, they stepped it up as they successfully prepared a fantastic Thai Green chicken curry for their main course! 🍛 We’re looking forward to welcoming them back for the final session, where the focus will be on crafting delicious desserts. This programme has been a brilliant opportunity for Year 5 students to experience secondary school life, build confidence and develop exciting new culinary skills. A huge thank you to Mr Delaney and Mr Kiani for leading such a successful and inspiring programme.
