Internet safety

As part of our safeguarding culture, we take actions necessary to protect our children and staff online and offline. Online safety is taught as part of our ongoing computing and PSHE curriculum and is highlighted each year during Internet Safety Day. Using the internet can be great fun and helps children with many areas of learning. However, it is important that we work together to help our children to use the internet safely.

Remember to keep safe online, you can always email the school if you are worried or visit these websites for help:-
