E-Safety
INTERNET SAFETY DAY
Each year we recognise Safer Internet Day. As part of this, we have special assemblies and each class focuses on internet safety through discussions and activities. You may find the resources below particularly useful when talking to your children about safe use of the internet.
As part of our Computing Curriculum and Personal, Social, Health Education, we teach the children how to use the internet and other IT applications safely. Below we have listed some links that you may find useful and which cover the subject of e-safety in more depth.
