Online Safety

We believe that our children should use technology to enhance their learning, and in doing so, they should do everything to keep themselves and others safe.

Monthly online safety newsletters are shared with our parents via our Class Dojo.  If you would prefer a copy to be emailed to you, please contact Mr Gales, our Computing Lead.

The 4 big internet providers in the UK – BT, Sky, TalkTalk and Virgin Media - provide their customers with free parental controls which can be activated at any time. They have come together to produce these helpful video guides to help you to download and set-up the controls offered by your provider.

For more information on how to set up smartphones and social media, entertainment and search engines, broadband and mobile networks or social media please use the following link:

Online Safety Reporting Tool for Parents and Children

It may be that you, or your child, come across something upsetting or concerning online. It is important that you feel confident about what to do if you do see something inappropriate online, or if your child tells you they’ve seen something.

If you're worried about something a child or young person may have experienced online, you can contact us here.

You can also contact the NSPCC Helpline for free support and advice. If your child needs more support, they can contact Childline.
