TikTok Safeguarding Bulletin
Further to our communication earlier this term, it has come to our attention that there is now an edited version of the upsetting suicide video on TikTok. This version is being circulated via a text link that leads you directly to a disturbing and graphic part of the video. Please be aware of students receiving a text from an unknown number with the link included and no explanation – they should not click on this link as it will take them straight to the video. 

Payments to the Finance Office
Due to COVID-19 the Finance Office are no longer accepting cash or cheques.  Parents should register to make payments online for all canteen payments and future trips or visits.  If you have not received your Pupil Link Code to register online, please contact the Finance Office as soon as possible – financesf@oxted.thpt.org.uk

‘Forgotten Items’
Parents are reminded that Reception are unable to accept any ‘forgotten items’ left at home by students.  This includes money for transport, packed lunches, FDT ingredients or any other items.  Please make sure that your child has everything they require for the school day prior to them leaving home.  Thank you for your support. 

Safe and responsible use of transport to and from school
Students have been reminded that they have a responsibility to ensure that they are wearing a mask at all times when they are on the bus, coach and train. In addition, masks must be worn when they are on the station platform.

Students have also been told that If they are unable to respect others and take responsibility for ensuring that we are all safe they run the risk of being refused further use of this transport.  

Please can you reinforce this message as it has been brought to our attention that some students are not following these clear instructions which have been introduced to keep us all safe.  Thank you for your continued support.

Year 7 and Year 12 Photographs – Online Order Deadline
Students should have brought home their photo proofs for parents and carers to place an order.  The deadline for placing an order is Tuesday 6 October.  Any orders made after this time, may be subject to an additional charge.  Please note that orders should be made online with Van Cols, following the instructions in the pack.  The school is unable to accept any payments.  The photo orders will be returned to school and will be handed out to the students to bring home.

Student Planners
We have re-introduced student planners this academic year.  Students have been shown how they should be using their planner.

Replacement planners cost £3, payment should be made using the online payment system.
