Online Safety

The internet is essential in 21st century life for education, business and social interaction. As children move up through the school, their  access to various  types of technology increases and it stands to reason that their exploration and curiosity increases too. The positives of the digital world overwhelmingly outweigh the negatives but children, schools and parents all need to be aware of  various online risks. 

 

If you would like to share any information or require any further support please do not hesitate to contact  your child’s class teacher. 

 

Your help is still needed to prevent children accessing inappropriate material at home by way of filters and parental controls. Here are a few useful tips and websites to provide information about how to help you keep your children safe online:
