Like last year, it is in two parts.

Part 1 is about the whole school and only needs to be filled in once by each family

Snapchat Map Update

Please be aware that the app Snapchat has a new feature called 'Snap Map' which allows friends to view each other's location on a map, in a similar way to Google maps. This can allow people to pinpoint the exact location of your child. Please ensure that your child's location data is not shared by making sure that they do not give permission for location information to be shared with any app in 'settings' on their phone and in the app they can also hide their location by switching to 'ghost mode.'

For more information about how this new update works you can click on the following link:
