Online Safety

 At Ystrad Mynach Primary School we take online safety very seriously. As part of the Digital Comptency Framework, we cover Citizenship throughout the year. 

 We currently use resources from the SWGFL and deliver this to our pupils. The resource empowers our pupils to think critically, behave safely, and participate responsibly in our digital world. 

360 Degree Safe

We are continually reviewing our  Online Safety at the school and use a Online Safety Self-Review Tool known as 360 degree Safe.

360 degree safe is free to use, and is intended to help schools review their Online Safety policy and practice. It walks us through each aspect of Online Safety, helping us to collaborate, report, and progress.

Safer Internet Week 

Every year we celebrate Safer Internet Day. For the first time this year we turned this into a week and extended it. 

We focus on different Online Safety genres and celebrate this through our twitter feeds. Please search for #ympsesafety to find out what the pupils learnt.  

Tech Team

At Ystrad Mynach Primary School we have a number of pupils who work as part of the Tech Team. They  meet regularly and work closely with Mr Hawkins and Mr Rossiter.  As part of their role they try and promote  Online Safety throughout the school. They lead school assemblies, produce posters and trial new applications.
