Online Safety

We teach online safety in school as part of our Computing curriculum and through PHSE lessons and assemblies. Each year, we take part in Safer Internet Day to promote e-safety for our children. This year Safer Internet Day is 6th February 2024. 

We will be celebrating Safer Internet Day in school with the pupils, but we are also signposting parents to update their own knowledge about online safety. Here is a webinar aimed at parents and its purpose is to educate parents around keeping their children safe online. You can sign up through the website below:
