Online safety is an important element of safeguarding at our school. We have extensive security measures in place in school, which are monitored both internally and externally, to help safeguard pupils from potential dangers or unsuitable material. Any online safety incidents are recorded and managed in accordance with our Online Safety Policy. Online safety is taught to all pupils explaining and demonstrating how to stay safe and behave appropriately online.
We encourage parents and carers to talk to their children about how to behave safely when online, to ensure pupils remain safe when browsing at home. This section of our website aims to provide both parents and children with links to really useful advice on how to be safe when using the internet.
Parents/carers, teachers or anyone supporting the learning of children today need to ensure they are up-to-date with new technologies and actively look for resources to help ensure that children are using technology, including the internet, safely.
