E-Safety

Internet Safety Advice

Our pupils use the internet on a regular basis as part of their learning. In school, we have regular e-safety activities and focused lessons to not only educate pupils on the importance of keeping themselves safe online but what to do if they find themselves in a situation that makes them feel uncomfortable. We must work together to ensure our children are safe and ensure they always behaviour appropriately.

The internet is a wonderful tool and is widely available with the increased use of smart phones and tablets. At home, it is becoming increasingly difficult to supervise children whilst they are using the internet, therefore it is important that the appropriate parental controls are set through your internet service provider (ISP).

Software Applications (Apps)

Technology is changing very rapidly and sometimes it is hard to keep up. Below is a link to a website that contains useful guides for parents about popular social networking apps snap chat, Facebook and Instagram. Children can use apps on smartphones, iPad, iPod… anything with an internet connection. If your child has these apps, please review their usage frequently and teach them how to use them appropriately.
