On Line Safety
"Teachers help pupils to understand how to keep themselves safe, including when online." OFSTED Report 2020
As a school we take the safety of pupils when on line very seriously. Our work on Online Safety meets Article 13 for the Rights of the child which states children must be able to access all kinds of information as long as it is within the law and safe. It also meets Article 17 which makes clear that we must help protect children from materials that could harm them.
Below are websites for parents that can be accessed that give valuable advice and support on how to keep our children safe when on line:

For our curriculum, we follow the On line programme - E Aware. This assesses the pupils' knowledge and allows teachers to deliver the content that the children need. It concentrates on areas such as cyber bullying, friends, passwords, time online, private information and digital footprint.
Please have a look at the On Line Safety Policy. Any views on e-safety would be welcomed and can be e mailed to the main office or the Headteacher. Also, the Anti Bullying policy is available to down load, along with a leaflet that has been jointly written by the Headteachers of all the Headteachers in the local area.
