E-Safety

Together, we can keep every child safe online.

The COVID-19 pandemic has shown how urgent it is for us to come together to stop online abuse. Parts of the online world pose an ever-increasing risk to children, and it is important that schools, parents and carers work together to take an active role in teaching children about online dangers and how to act safely when using the Internet. 

Every year, in February, we celebrate Safer Internet Day. The theme for 2022 is '‘‘All fun and games? Exploring respect and relationships online". As part of this day, our children will be taking part in a number of activities and class discussions thinking about what we can all do to help make the Internet a safe and respectful environment for all.

We have a number of students who act as Digital Leaders. Their role is to solve technical problems day to day in school but also help teachers, parents and pupils with Computing. Ultimately they will be helping to lead the school towards a safer online world!
