Today the UK Government announced that there WILL be a ban on social media for under-16s 📱🚫

They plan to bring this into reality by Spring 2027 🇬🇧 ☀️

Well done to the Year 5 pupils at Bookwell School for their amazing contribution to the Screen-Savvy Kidz programme 💪

It was hard to judge so many brilliant pieces of art, but we are glad to see that the banner looks fantastic ✨

Earlier this term, our Year 5 children took part in a Screen-Savvy Kidz UK workshop. As part of the session, they designed posters promoting ways to stay safe when using the internet.
The children produced some fantastic designs. We are delighted to share the school banner, which will help spread the important online safety message across our community.
Well done to all of our Year 5 pupils for their effort and thoughtful ideas

Great work Arlecdon Primary School 👏👏

Your artwork will inspire many people in your community to think about their own digital wellbeing and responsibility 🎨💪📱

Thank you Cumberland Council for supporting this programme in our communities 💚🙏

As part of a Screen Savvy Workshop, KS2 created their own eye-catching designs to promote online safety and digital wellbeing. The winning entries have been selected and proudly transformed into a large banner now displayed outside the school.

This celebration of pupil voice highlights their understanding of staying safe, balanced, and positive online—showcasing both their creativity and the lasting impact of the workshop.

Designed by our pupils – leading the way in being smart, safe, and savvy online.

🎉 Year 3 and 4 students are absolutely smashing the Screen‑Savvy Kidz campaign this term! 👏💙

Just look at these amazing badges created by the talented pupils at Goodly Dale Community Primary School! 🎨✨

After each Year 3 and Year 4 workshop, every school receives 50 badges featuring the children's own artwork to share with their pupils 🎒🖍️

We’re so proud to keep this campaign truly child‑led, and these badges are the perfect example of that! 🌟

👧🧒 Children are at the heart of every local campaign, supporting their schoolmates and the wider school community.

Their ideas, creativity and voices are what make Screen‑Savvy Kidz so powerful 💛📵

Keep shining, superstars! 🙌🌟
