Dear sixth form
Hope you are all well and safe. Do you remember Dave Bolton who gave us that memorable talk to us all about his journey? Something I will never forget. He has sent you all a message which was put together by the charity he works for Mersey Counselling and Therapy centre. Please take a look and perhaps message him with your thoughts. Please feel free to look at the other presentations. Neil Hughes is an ex pupil.
What Parents Need to Know About Google Stadia
It’s inevitable that with children spending more time at home, there has been a surge in online gaming. In early April, Google Stadia launched the free version of its Stadia game streaming service which means every household in the UK with a wi-fi connection could potentially access a number of games online and play them free of charge. That’s why we’ve created this guide to help parents and carers understand exactly what Google Stadia is all about.
