Online Safety
With the incredible advances in technology in recent years, online safety is an increasingly complex and important aspect of your child’s education and life in general in the 21st century.
We do our utmost at school to ensure that your child is safe when using technology within our school setting. We have strict procedures and a high level of filtering to ensure that our children are not exposed to any unsuitable material etc. whilst at school. However, this will not be the case when they have access to a wide range of devices outside school, particularly when they move onto secondary school and beyond.
