‘Online actions can have offline consequences’ 

Welcome to our Online Safety page linking you to valuable information for parents and some interactive fun for children. Online Safety covers a lot of issues from Online Bullying, to protecting yourself and your computer while using the internet, there are some links to help you with all aspects of staying safe online below.

By raising awareness of the risks associated with ICT, we hope to encourage pupils to access social media, the Internet and mobile phones is a safe and appropriate manner.

Keeping safe online is a child protection issue.  It should be regarded as an extension of general safeguarding and led by the whole school leadership team.

All of the children at our school are asked, with the support of their parents, to complete an Acceptable Use Agreement, detailing specific areas where we ask for acknowledgment of what they are and are not permitted to do while working online.
