Keeping children safe is a key part of the role of any teacher. Children and parents now have access to a reporting tool that can be done anonymously. Whilst it is always easier to sort something out when someone tell us. It is crucial for us as a school to make sure that there is always a way for parents and children to report concerns.
Our pupils can anonymously report issues to you via SMS by texting THE27 + their message to078600 21584

About Whisper
SWGfL Whisper is a reporting service offered by South West Grid for Learning as part of its BOOST suite of online safety services for schools. The service, hosted by the Grid, consists of a website button / link that launches an online dialogue-box to capture information or details for anyone who needs to report issues to the school. That information is then sent to an email address nominated by the school. It also comprises an alternative SMS service that uses a school specific number to send information. Both services can be regarded as anonymous if the user chooses to withhold their personal information.
