Online Safety
With technology updating so quickly and becoming so much cheaper, it is fantastic that we now have the world at our fingertips and can learn in new and engaging ways. However, we have to make sure we are using new technology safely and appropriately and that our children are aware of the dangers of chatting online or sharing personal information.
As part of our PSHE curriculum, we discuss how to stay safe online. In Computing we teach an online safety unit to all pupils each year explaining and demonstrating how to stay safe and behave appropriately online. We also start each computing lesson with an e-safety reminder.
Resources to Support our Parents and Carers
There is a safer search engine (just like Google but heavily restricted) which is recommended by CEOP called Swiggle - please use this with your children at home for research. We are planning on using this in school, so the children will soon be familiar with it. http://www.swiggle.org.uk
Parent Safe is a good website with lots of e-safety support and guidance for parents.
Please use the following link to visit the Parent safe website.
The following websites are also useful to help you support safe and responsible internet use with your children.
