Having just bought a computer for my son I have found the initial set-up, privacy set-up, gaming set-up a complete minefield!! I am also continually being asked can I connect, can I have a you tube account, can I have an email account...it goes on and on...I have no idea what is safe, what to look out for etc...


Our school has started to take this seriously and has done some great work on e-safety but think there may be a market out there for 1:1 or small group workshops to work through these issues with parents and children.


Maybe a course with 5/6 hands on sessions setting up your computer safely, a session on Facebook, one on minecraft, one on email etc..so we cld learn how it works and how to do it safely.


We are probably not a target market as we don't have much money but it seems to be a really important emerging subject for tutors to cover?....just a thought...

I think it's great idea. Computers have changed so much since we were young! (Anyone else grow-up with an Apple IIe?) Plus social media and games have exploded in the last decade.


Are any local libraries offering something like this? This could be combined with other basic tech skills to make a course that would run over a few of weekends, or afterschool.

      4+ Assessment Advice for Parents

      By Lord Pencilton · Posted

      It has come to this author’s attention that the world of 4+ admissions — that most enigmatic of educational rites — continues to bewilder even the most composed of parents. Fear not. For in a former life, I was not merely a humble observer, but a seasoned educator of over twenty years, and Head of Pre-Prep for a distinguished dozen. Now, with quill exchanged for touchscreen, I have taken to that most modern of salons — Instagram — to dispense guidance, answer frequently whispered questions, and illuminate the shadowy corners of school selection with clarity and calm. Each post bears my signature twist: a blend of insight, levity, and the occasional raised eyebrow. Should you find yourself adrift in the sea of admissions, I suggest you peruse my latest dispatch. It may well be the lifeline you seek. The Delicate Dilemma of the Summer-born 4+ Scholars Yours in solidarity and scholastic savvy, Lord Pencilton  🎩✏️

      GALA 2026

      By kiera · Posted

      Perhaps Gooseygreeny was not familiar with the wildlife before Gala was imposed on the park, since when its value to wildlife has deteriorated. The Park had never been disturbed before, as the council had respected it as a Site of Importance for Nature Conservation, so only the Common was licensed by them as a site for events. The first time Gala held their event, there was a tree with woodpeckers nesting in it right in the middle of the main field they used and thrushes, blackbirds and great tits nesting within the shrubs and trees immediately surrounding the field. The woodpeckers were thriving on ants from the anthills in the grass. To those of us who used to enjoy watching the wildlife, it was very obviously a Site of Importance for a variety of birds. Despite being accessed by the public and their dogs, it had been relatively undisturbed,  which was one of the main reasons why it was so special and why I have been opposed to the Gala festival being held during the bird nesting season.

      So dangerous!    Can you be more specific about the road this was in and when you report it?  Maybe there’s some CCTV footage available
