Online Safety 

At school, we keep all our school family (both children and adults) safe in a  number of ways.  We follow a comprehensive Computing Curriculum that includes a fundamental topic on online safety for each year group.  We also celebrate Safer Internet Day (Tuesday 11th February 2025) with whole school training and activities.  We are very lucky in school to have access to a wide range of digital internet-enabled devices from laptops to iPads, and we teach our children to be safe at all times. 

We also teach our children what to do if things go wrong online.  

Who to tell and where to report anything we aren't happy with.

This is backed up in school with a consistently monitored filtering system, that prevents misuse of our devices, protects all our school members and reports in real time to our SLT and Safeguarding teams anything of interest or concern.

The school has recently introduced a home-school online agreement that helps parents, our pupils and our school to stay safe online.
 
 
 
 
 
Parents and carers have a clear duty of care to prevent children becoming victims of digital grooming, bullying or online exploitation.

 

 

This has been an increasing priority since the end of COVID-19 lockdown:
