  It is Children's Mental Health Week and Safer Internet Day.

   

  Our Picture News assembly brings both aspects together in this week's story: 

  Adults in the UK are talking about whether children under 16 should be allowed to use social media, as the government is considering new rules to help keep children safe online.

• Celebrating our Christ Church Community

  Fri 23 Jan 2026

  Today, we were delighted to receive an email from the Education Secretary, Bridget Phillipson, celebrating the work we do at Christ Church to support our children.

   

  I want to thank our Christ Church community, along with our dedicated teachers and support staff, for their unwavering commitment and care.

   

  We know our children are amazing and deserve the very best education and the widest possible curriculum opportunities, so that they can thrive, flourish, and be the very best they can be. Guided by our Christian vision and values, we strive to nurture every child with love, compassion and hope.

   

  Let’s keep working together to ensure Christ Church continues to be a truly special place.

   

  “Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it.”
  Proverbs 22:6
