Online Safety
Children find internet communication and social networking fun and safe most of the time but things can go wrong. As a parent or carer, you can help protect your child by being aware of their internet use and which devices they are using for this and talking together about online relationships.

Get involved in #WakeUpWednesday
We believe all parents, carers, teachers and trusted adults should be empowered with all the information needed to have well informed, age-appropriate conversations about online safety with children. That's why, every Wednesday, we share a practical, easy to follow guide surrounding key areas or online risks we think you need to be aware of.
REMEMBER YOU CAN CLICK THIS SIGN TO REPORT ANYTHING THAT YOU THINK IS UNSAFE ON THE INTERNET.

In school we have age appropriate e-safety rules and guidelines that we ask all children to agree and adhere to. These can be found in the School Policies section of the website. We also deliver regular e-safety lessons to our children.
There are a number of websites that you and your child may find useful when thinking about e-safety. Please find links below.
