Online safety
Lead teacher - Mrs Davies
One of the biggest changes in the last ten years has been the increased accessibility of the online world. There are many advantages to this BUT it is more important than ever before that children are taught to stay safe and be respectful online. We teach this as part of PSHE and computing and we monitor online access very carefully. Please do the same at home. We have put some tips below and we send out information but if you have any questions, you are always welcome to contact the school office, we are here to help.
Online safety
In our rapidly changing digital world it is essential that we educate all children on how to enjoy the internet and get the most from it whist understanding how to keep themselves safe. All classes have tailored, age appropriate series of lessons that are designed to help them understand and identify potential e-safety issues.
The school recently took part in an interactive assembly with Google Legends and it taught the children the key rules for online safety. The following link explains how you can stay safe as a family:
