Safer Internet Day 2022 is on the 8th of February and will be celebrated with the theme ‘All fun and games? Exploring respect and relationships online’.
From gaming and chat, to streaming and video, young people are shaping the interactive entertainment spaces they are a part of. Safer Internet Day 2022 celebrates young people’s role in creating a safer internet, whether that is whilst gaming and creating content, or interacting with their friends and peers.
At Horringer Court Middle School we will be sharing advice and resources with the students to help them remain safe in school.

This year’s Children’s Mental Health Week is taking place between the 7th-13th February 2022, and is in partnership with Place2Be. Horringer Court Middle School will support this with a range of activities and event over the week.
The theme for this year is ‘Growing Together’.
As we change and grow, sometimes it is hard to see the way forward. But there is always a way forward. The people that we are surrounded by and our community itself can help us on our journey, as we grow into the people we are today.
The pupils and staff at Horringer Court Middle School will be looking at this and all aspects of Mental Health during the week and helping everyone to understand the best way to look after their Mental Health.
You can find more support and links to agencies to help with Mental Health on our Wellbeing pages which you can find HERE.
You can also find out about events and additional support by following our social media accounts;
