Online Safety
Understandably, there are concerns about children accessing inappropriate material when working online - but we have taken positive steps to deal with this risk in school.
* All staff have undertaken online safety training.
* The school's IT system operates a robust filtering system that restricts pupils access to inappropriate material.
* The school has an online safety policy.
* Pupils are supervised when working online.
* We have a designated online safety lead in school.
* We teach online safety as part of our curriculum across all year groups using the Education for a Connected World Framework.

How we can help you to keep children safe
Share Aware
Share Aware, our online safety campaign, is a great resource to help parents keep their children safe on social networks, apps and games. The two animations, ‘ I Saw Your Willy’ and ‘ Lucy and the Boy’ encourages parents to have conversations with their children about online safety. The website also includes a guide to the Share Aware materials and information about children’s online behaviour.

Net Aware
Net Aware is an online tool that informs parents about the social networks, apps and games that children might be using. We look at the frequency of inappropriate content, how robust and easy to find the privacy settings are, and why children like using the sites. We regularly update Net Aware with new apps, and parents can sign up to Net aware newsletters to keep up with digital trends.
