Online Safety

Many children and young people enjoy spending time online and we know the internet can be a wonderful resource. We want pupils to be able to enjoy the internet in a safe way and we support them to be aware of the dangers and risks through RSHE lessons, and additional support when needed. We have a Filtering and Monitoring System in place across all devices and supervise pupils’ use of the internet.

We will share information about internet safety with individual parents / carers if a concern has been raised, and with all parents at various times of the year.

Adults taking care of children should be aware of what they are accessing online and who they are interacting with. We recommend that parents and carers ensure they monitor children when online and use parental controls on home internet / WiFi, devices and apps.

There are a number of websites and organisations which provide advice to families on how to support their children to be safe online – please see information and links below.
