Online Safety

Online Safety 

The Internet is an integral part of our lives and enables children to research school projects, stay in touch with their friends, and access entertainment from around the world. By working together, we can remain aware of potential dangers and take measures to ensure our young people get to enjoy the benefits of being online as securely as possible.

​

Discussions about online safety are a permanent part of our safeguarding work in school. We have dedicated sessions to focus on this, including assemblies with special guests from the local police and NSPCC, who explain what to do if children encounter anything that makes them feel uncomfortable. 

We've added some useful guides to this page to share what you should know before allowing your children to have access to popular games or apps. If your children share your phone or tablet you may like to think about what permissions you give them, to ensure they’re not accidentally exposed to age-inappropriate content.

Our children are often more tech-smart than we are, but if you keep your passcodes secret they shouldn't be able to download or change the settings for anything you wouldn't wish them to have access to.
