Online Safety

Children at our school use the internet on a regular basis as part of their learning.

In school, we have regular online safety activities to remind children of the importance of keeping themselves safe online, through our Digital Citizenship curriculum (from common sense education https://www.commonsense.org/education/uk/digital-citizenship/primary). We also take part in Safer Internet Day each February (Safer Internet Day)
