At our school, we regularly talk to the children in assemblies about staying safe on the internet.  As a school, we celebrate and recognise Safer Internet Day and teach the children about Online Safety in class. On-line safety units are built into the curriculum for every year group.  Acceptable User Policies (AUPs) are in place for use in school and when using our e-learning platform. 

At home there are lots of simple things you can do as a parent/carer to help you feel more confident about your child’s use of technology and the internet. We have provided links to several useful sites on this web-page. There are also some useful documents at the bottom of this page.
