Online Safety

Supporting our children to access the online world in a safe and responsible way is a high priority. In partnership with parents we encourage an awareness and understanding of the important strategies which increase safe responses to potential online harms.

Each term, we teach all children about an aspect of Online Safety. It is really important that parents and carers talk to their children about how they can be safe online too and monitor how they are using the computer at home.
