E-Safety
Safer Internet Day 2024We promote and teach online safety in a wide range of ways. We deliver a broad curriculum covering the many areas of e-safety which are appropriate for each of our learners. We adopt a whole-school approach in educating our learners and are responsive to any issues that arise and ensure parents and children are supported. We do regular follow up work and take part in Safer Internet Day every year.
All our staff complete online safety training through the National Online Safety resource, and we encourage all our parents to register too where there are guides and explainer videos as well a range of training modules for parents.
Please ask the school for the link to register with National Online Safety as a parent/carer.
We have our own Online Safety guide, our one-stop resource for parents and carers which brings together a wealth of information, links, and advice that we hope you will find very useful – click on the PDF link below to view or download.Online safety guide for parents and carers
