Online-Safety - Everyone's responsibility
Throughout the school year we teach children about staying safe on-line, and we are sure you are doing your bit at home too. Each week the children in each class receive a short lesson on e-safety and the Headteacher asks the children about their learning during Friday Assembly. If you would like a bit of extra guidance on how to protect your children, visit the NSPCC website where you will find lots of useful information.
Our E-Safety policy can be found here. The policy can also be found under the "policies" heading.
