Online Safety

Access to the Internet is a necessary tool for all staff and students irrespective of gender, race, religion, culture or ability. It is an entitlement for students who show a responsible and mature approach with the intention to gain useful or entertaining resources.

The purpose of internet access in school is to raise educational standards, to support the professional work of the staff and to enhance School’s management information and business administration system. Access to the internet is a necessary tool for all staff and children.

As part of our role in educating children how to stay safe all children in school regularly look at ways of ensuring that they understand the risks of using the internet and how to keep themselves safe. We also see it as an important part of our role to support our families with online safety at home. Below are a number of resources which we think you may find useful, including how to use parental controls on some devices and apps, and you can find our Online Safety Policy and Internet Access Policy in the ‘Policies’ section of our website.
