There have been concerns raised by a number of Primary Schools in Harrow regarding children that are being added to WhatsApp groups that they do not wish to be in. Please see below the advice from Harrow MASH team: WhatsApp have recently added a feature that enables users to stop others adding them to groups without their consent. Here’s how to enable it: Open WhatsApp on your phone, and go to Settings > Accounts > Privacy.

· Tap on Groups, and select the option that suits you best.

– Nobody (this stops anyone from adding you to a group without an invitation) – My contacts (only your contacts can add you to a group without an invitation) – Anyone (Anyone can add you to a group without an invitation)

The advice for anyone who values privacy is to select the ‘Nobody’ option.

ALDI’S KIT FOR SCHOOL

Dear Parents/ Carers,

This term we’re collecting Team GB stickers with Aldi’s Kit for Schools for the chance to be one of 20

primary schools to win £20,000 to build a health legacy at our school!

From 6 September–3 November, when you spend £30 or more in any Aldi store, you’ll receive a special

Team GB sticker – if our school works together to collect 300 stickers, we will automatically receive an ex-

clusive school sports kit, in addition to entry into the £20,000 prize draw!

Please send any stickers you receive into school with your children, or bring them in yourself to the school

office, and we will add them to our Aldi’s Kit for Schools sticker poster.

The Aldi’s Kit for Schools campaign supports the aims of Get Set to Eat Fresh, Aldi and Team GB’s award-

winning school’s programme, which has already beaten its target to reach 1.2 million young people in the

UK by 2020, reaching over 1.5 million young people since its inception.

Throughout the autumn term, we will be trying out Get Set to Eat Fresh’s fun and engaging resources to

create healthy moments in assemblies and the classroom, alongside setting occasional take-home tasks

and challenges. We appreciate your support in helping pupils to complete these activities and hope you will

enjoy finding out more about the campaign and the healthy challenges we complete.

We hope everyone will enjoy collecting Team GB stickers and exploring healthy eating this term. Remem-

ber, Aldi’s Kit for Schools Team GB stickers are available until 3 November when shopping in any Aldi

store. We will keep everyone up to date with how many stickers we have collected, and how many we

have to go!
