AI technology is increasingly part of all our lives, so this Safer Internet Day we are starting a conversation about how to use it safely and responsibly. Use these top tips to help keep you and your loved ones safe online.
Enjoy going online together and talk regularly about your family’s online lives
The internet is amazing and can help us all to access information and entertainment. Spend time online with your child to understand how they are using technology and talk together about the good and the bad parts of being online. Talk about your own experiences and find other opportunities to get the conversation started, like stories in the news. Make sure your child knows they can talk to you about anything that they see or experience online.
Understand where AI technology is being used and the impact it can have
From summaries on search engines, to voice assistants and photo editing tools, AI powered features are being added to many of the apps and devices we use day-to-day. Look out for information and warnings notifying you where AI technology is in use or where content has been created using AI. Help your child to recognise these too. Remember, AI can make some tasks simpler but may also collect data about you and your family, or share unreliable information, so consider how to use it safely and responsibly.
Recognise what safe and responsible use of technology looks like
To use technology, including AI, safely and responsibly, it’s important to reflect on the potential impact it can have on yourself and others. How does your use of technology make you feel? How can you use technology with kindness and respect for others? Does your use of technology benefit you or help you build skills? How might it affect you now, and in the future? Ask these questions of your own internet use, as well as your family’s.
Stay informed with free resources
Young people have told us about the incredible ways they’re using AI, but also about their worries for what it means for the future. Issues such as the environmental impact of AI, what it means for job prospects, and the threat of deepfakes can seem scary but remember, you don’t need to have all the answers. Stay informed using free resources like those produced for Safer Internet Day and talk to your child about their concerns about new technology – you can always work together to find more information.
Know where to go for help if something goes wrong
Like any technology, using AI comes with risks. Some AI tools, like ChatGPT, have built-in reporting features where you can raise issues such as inappropriate or harmful content. Many social media platforms also allow you to report content you suspect has been created with AI. Additionally, AI generated content can break the law. If you see illegal images that show child sexual abuse (including AI generated images), you should report these to the IWF and on the platform where they are being shared. If someone creates an image of you or your child using AI these can also be reported on the platform where they are being shared, and AI generated nude images can be reported to Stop NCII (for images of adults) and Report Remove or Take It Down (for images of under 18s).
Our History students have participated in some brilliant cultural capital activities so far this academic year. At the end of last term, our Y9 Historians visited the Thackray medical museum, where they sat in a Victorian operating theatre, and were part of a demonstration about surgery during the Industrial Revolution. They had a great day viewing the range of exhibits, from ‘diease street’ to an apothecary shop and an iron lung!
Our Y8 Historians spent 2 days at the National Holocaust centre, where we were lucky to hear from a Holocaust survivor, Hedi Argent. We also visited the memorial garden and were able to place stones on the memorial to all of the children who lost their lives in the Holocaust. It was a thought provoking and touching day.

Dear Parents and Carers
The Year 12 and 13 Progress Evening for parents will take place on Wednesday 10th December from 15.45pm until 18.30pm; this will be conducted via in-person appointments at All Saints’ School, and students will be making bookings for timeslots for parents directly with their class teachers. The evening is an important opportunity to speak to your child’s teachers about the progress your child is making.
During the Evening- *Important Changes*
Before you attend the event, please make sure you have a copy of the times of your appointments. Your child will be making these appointments directly with their class teachers. On arrival at All Saints’, please make your way to the Dining Room in order to sign in. There will be a number of displays indicating the locations of different staff members. Please ensure that you are waiting at the correct teacher at the correct time. The appointments will be five minutes long and the appointment begins at the allotted time of booking. There will be a countdown. The appointment cannot be extended; when the school bell is sounded, the appointment will draw to a close.
These arrangements are somewhat of a departure from the historic, in-person Parents Evenings. In response to parental feedback about wait times and to support staff well-being, we are wanting to be more disciplined with the timing of appointments.
We realise that there may be occasions where conversations need to be continued; if this is the case, you can request a call back at the sign-in desk; this is to avoid appointment times becoming disorderly and inefficient. We would really appreciate parents and carers support with these arrangements.
Yours Faithfully
Mr C Hutchinson
Acting Deputy Head Teacher

A wide range of subjects were discussed today as the Y10 geographers walked up Mount Vesuvius (P.E) at the top they received a guided tour focusing on the physical geography of the area, we also discussed our and Italy’s Catholic values (R.E) under a prayer and icon. Then in the afternoon we visited Pompeii to see the destruction Vesuvius caused in 79 AD (History), one of the highlights for the students was the theatre where they discussed their drama GCSE.
