Online Safety plays a huge significance for children growing up in the modern world. In school, we talk to children regularly about how to use the internet safely. Whilst children's access to the internet is closely monitored and controlled in school, in their everyday lives it is not as easy to monitor exactly what children are doing online. This is why it is so important to educate children about the fantastic opportunities the internet offers as well as the dangers and risks they may become exposed to.
This section of the website aims to provide you with the information you need to become aware of some of the dangers and also the vast amount of positive resources which can be accessed through the online world.
If you have any further questions about Online Safety, please don't hesitate to contact a member of teaching staff.
National Online Safety regularly produce new guides on platforms popular with children as part of their #WakeUpWednesday campaign. Several have been added below for the games and apps that we know some children in our school have access to. Whilst they are useful, digital platforms can change frequently and rapidly so some of these may become outdated as quickly as they have been created.
