We know that the events in Ukraine are extremely worrying and frightening for a number of people within our school community. Information about the ongoing conflict is available from a number of sources, however, some of these may not be providing reliable information and could well be the source of ‘fake news’. This includes videos shared on platforms like TikTok, Instagram and Snapchat.

We would encourage pupils, parents/carers and other members of the school community to access the most up-to-date information through one of the following sources:
