Sports betting has become increasingly visible online, appearing across apps, websites, social media, sports coverage and gaming spaces.

Even when young people are not legally old enough to gamble, they may still encounter betting messages through adverts, influencers, tipsters, friends or adult accounts.

Our latest guide highlights key risks, including:
• Easy online access
• Gambling becoming normalised around sport
• Peer and influencer pressure
• Free bet offers
• Impulsive spending and chasing losses

It also offers practical advice for parents, carers and educators on starting calm conversations, setting safer digital boundaries, spotting warning signs and finding support.

Years 3, 4 and 5 have been paddleboarding and canoeing, while Year 6 took on coasteering: sea swimming, rock scrambling, cave exploring and safe coastal jumps.

At Warkworth, this isn’t a one-off treat. It’s a planned series of lessons so children build real confidence and learn how to stay safe in water, rivers and on the coast.

Adventure, resilience, teamwork — and life-saving skills. 🌊🚣‍♀️

Because who doesn't love Forest School Friday's?!

Robins finished off their work about the story book Zog by attending Dragon School. They have learnt how to fly, make dragon lairs, dragon stew, practiced their roaring and finally caught a princess!
They all passed Dragon School with flying colours

This afternoon, year 3 spent time carefully sketching a variety of animals we can find in our locality.
They then began painting with water colours and once they are dried, they will use coloured pencils to add the smaller details.
Don't they look amazing so far?!

Oral language plays a vital role in children’s learning, literacy and social and emotional development.

Our latest guide supports parents and educators with practical, evidence-informed strategies to help children build school-ready language skills.

The guide explores:
• Building oral language through meaningful interaction
• Supporting listening and attention
• Growing children’s vocabulary
• Sharing stories and naming feelings
• Working with settings to spot and support language needs
• Using evidence-based approaches to meet individual needs

With language developing rapidly between the ages of two and six, early support can make a lasting difference to children’s confidence, communication and readiness for school.
