WhatsApp is one of the world's best-known messaging apps, allowing users to chat, make calls and share content with friends and family. With new parental controls announced in September 2026, families have more options for managing teenagers' online experiences. However, risks including group chat pressures, scams, unwanted contact and hidden conversations remain important considerations.
The #WakeUpWednesday guide explores WhatsApp's latest safety features, including controls for group chats, Channels, privacy settings and Meta AI. It also highlights the limitations of these protections, from potentially misleading AI-generated content to the challenges of monitoring private conversations.

Our Y7 pupils put their mathematical skills to the test at our exciting Maths Whodunnit event! Teams of enthusiastic volunteers gave up their time after school to work collaboratively, solve clues and use their problem-solving skills to crack a murder mystery. Adding to the excitement, their very own maths teachers dressed up as the suspects, making the investigation even more entertaining! There was plenty of teamwork, logical thinking and mathematical detective work along the way. Congratulations to our winning team, who successfully solved the mystery and took home some well-deserved chocolates. A fantastic effort from everyone involved! 🕵️👀
