Online Safety

Our pupils often use the internet as part of their learning, and have regular lessons on e-safety to help them know how to keep safe online. Pupils in school are always supervised when using the internet.

We realise that this close supervision of internet use is much harder to do at home, so here are some useful sites and guides to help!

Parent Guidance:

As part  of our safeguarding approach we led a workshop for parents on internet themes we had identified as being a concern for our families. This included using YouTube, Roblox, TikTok and gaming platforms. See below the presentation including  guidance links on how to set up parental controls and much more:
