PARENT CHEAT SHEET – RESETTING CHILDREN’S ALGORITHMS

As part of our ongoing commitment to your child's well-being, we want to address a challenge that is increasingly impacting our pupils: the damaging effect of social media on young people's mental health, focus, and self-esteem. We are seeing a rise in sleep deprivation, anxiety, and online distractions that directly affect classroom engagement and emotional resilience.

To support you at home, click here for a Parent Cheat Sheet: Resetting Children’s Algorithms. While platforms are engineered to keep children scrolling, you can actively alter what they see. We highly encourage you to sit down with your teenager this week to clear their video histories, refresh their feeds, and use 'Not Interested' tools to filter out harmful content. By actively retraining these apps and encouraging regular screen breaks, we can work together to create a much healthier digital environment for our young people.

Thank you for your continued partnership in safeguarding our pupils' well-being.
