Wake Up Wednesday is an important initiative at Poppleton Road as it is a great resource to keep parents/carers in the loop when it comes to advances in technology and how to keep children safe on technology. The articles are sent out via email to parents/carers every Wednesday to ensure everyone is kept in the loop with updates on apps, devices, statutory guidance and parental controls.
