The Big Future

The Children’s Commissioner for England, Dame Rachel de Souza, is inviting all young people to take part in The Big Future survey, giving them the opportunity to share their views, experiences and aspirations directly with the Government.

We encourage all our pupils and students to have their say and help ensure that the voices of young people in our community are represented. The survey can be completed online at: www.childrenscommissioner.gov.uk/thebigfuture.

Our Help Centre

I wanted to remind you that you can obtain help to access a number of online platforms that we use in school by visiting our Help Centre on our website, simply click the “Help” button on the top left-hand side of the home screen.

In particular, for anyone struggling to access Go4Schools, there is a very useful “how to” guide available. Alternatively you can click here and you will be directed to the relevant page for Go4Schools support.

Whilst our IT Team are always very happy to help with any technical queries, you will find answers to a lot of FAQs within the documents contained in our online Help Centre and so it is always worth a quick look before contacting us.
