Having a blog which is managed by the teacher and school allows us a teaching opportunity where we can empower your children to make smart choices when interacting with others online and know what to do when things go wrong.

Currently, some schools are noticing a random increase in spam on some of their learner's blogs. An increase in spam on a student's blog may be due to learners clicking on links that they do not know or spambots sending unsolicited spam out randomly. Often the spam is advertising or is intended to get a click through to another website.

If we find this spam, the teacher will mark it as spam on the blog. This lets Google know it is spam and they deal with it.

If you notice any spam on your child’s blog, please let their teacher know, so they manage it quickly. If your child has unsolicited spam coming onto their blog regularly, we will take further steps to reduce it. To help with the management of this spam please remind your child not to click on any links within a message that they are uncertain of.
