Online Safety
We believe strongly that educating pupils in the use of digital media and technology has many benefits including helping them to communicate, learn and create, but that it also presents challenges. We believe it is vital to engage pupils in online safety and help them to develop key digital literacy skills that will equip them with the knowledge to use the internet and technology in a safe, respectful and effective way.
We deliver our e-safety curriculum using the Dimensions 'Safe Zone' scheme of work. We teach pupils about online safety and appropriate behaviour online, including sharing data and ways in which information provided by users may be used negatively. During our lessons, and wherever online technology is used, we always reinforce the message of staying safe online. We show our children how to make sure that they are safe and stay safe. Our internal school systems use filtering and monitoring to help protect our pupils.
