Online Safety

The internet is a fantastic resource; it provides a wealth of information that can support you to communicate, stay connected and with your learning.  In school we take online safety very seriously, educating and enabling students to understand the dangers present and manage/avoid the risks, throughout all areas of the curriculum.

We have an Acceptable Use Policy which can be found here.

Please be aware that regular checks are made on pupil accounts using our IT Monitoring and Management System.

FAQs

1) I feel like I, or someone I know, might be at risk online. Where can I go for advice?

First of all, well done for recognising this risk. The internet can be very informative and is becoming a significant part of our lives, but there are dangers associated with the internet too. If you feel that there are issues with your online activities, or the online activities of someone you know, you should talk to a parent or a member of staff in school. There are also lots of websites with information that can help you.

2) I, or someone I know has made an error online. What should I/we do?
