Safer Internet Day 2026
Tue 10 Feb 2026On Tuesday 10th February, Walsall Wood School joined schools across the globe to celebrate Safer Internet Day 2026.
This year, the theme was: “Smart tech, safe choices – Exploring the safe and responsible use of AI.” Our pupils explored how to use technology safely and responsibly, with a focus on understanding and navigating the world of artificial intelligence.
Safer Internet Day is an international campaign that promotes the safe and responsible use of technology. It brings together young people, parents, carers, teachers, social workers, law enforcement, companies, and policymakers to help create a safer and better online environment.
At Walsall Wood School, celebrating Safer Internet Day gave us the perfect opportunity to reinforce the online safety messages we deliver throughout the year. Our Digital Leaders worked alongside staff to engage pupils in learning about safe online behaviour, encouraging them to make smart choices while using technology.
The day helped our pupils reflect on how to protect themselves and others online, understand potential risks, and recognise the importance of responsible digital behaviour.

Harvest Assembly 2025
Fri 17 Oct 2025We had a full house for both our EYFS/KS1 and KS2 Harvest Assemblies this year!
Thank you to everyone that was able to join us for our morning of celebration. Children from across the school presented songs, poems, art work and prayers as we took time to think about the importance of sharing what we have.
Our wonderful School Mayor, Charlotte, led the assembly confidently, and we were especially pleased to have Deacon Helen from Ablewell Food Bank with us to explain what happens to all of the generous donations.
Again this year your generosity was wonderful and our hall was filled with your donations that will go to support those in need in our community.
