E-Safety

The internet is amazing, and a fantastic learning tool which now forms the basis of much of our working and social lives. From blogging to homework, we use it as a school and ask your children to also use it. However, whilst there are so many positive benefits, there are sadly instances in which it can put our children in danger. Part of our responsibility as a school is to protect our children when they are online - both in and out of school.

At school, the children learn about online safety. During our online safety week we spoke about CEOP, the Child Exploitation and Online Protection Centre. Below is a button you can press to report any website that makes you feel unsafe, frightened or just not quite right.

We also recommend the following website for lots of helpful advice regarding e-safety.

'Internet Matters’ is an app designed to help parents talk about e-safety issues with their children, and to ensure that they make smart choices to stay safe online. The app is aimed at children aged between 8-10. It is a split-screen collaborative app between parents and children. The app helps children think about what they would do if they were faced with different situations online; from cyberbullying to sharing content with someone they don’t know. There are quizzes and games to encourage parents and children to collaborate and talk about 9 different e-safety subjects. Click on the logo below to find out how to access the app.

'Parent Zone' is devoted to providing expert information to families, schools and family professionals. They create, curate and check the best available advice and information on all of the issues that are caused or amplified by the internet.
