Online Safety is taught throughout the year to all year groups in school.  The children are taught how to be responsible users of the internet, how to keep themselves safe by not sharing personal information and to ask for help if they feel vulnerable or unsafe in any way.  We expect our pupils to treat others the same online as they would face to face.

 

We encourage the children to demonstrate these online safety skills at home as well as at school.  The following websites will offer help, support and guidance for parents, as well as activities you can do at home to support our in school learning.
