Our Approach to Online Safety

We recognise that technology is an essential part of children’s learning and development, but it can also present risks. We are committed to ensuring children learn how to use technology safely and responsibly.

What we do in school:

• Implement robust filtering and monitoring systems to prevent access to harmful content
• Teach online safety as part of our curriculum, including age-appropriate guidance on:
  • Cyberbullying
  • Online grooming and exploitation
  • Inappropriate content
  • Privacy and personal information
• Promote safe, responsible use of devices and the internet
• Support children to understand how to seek help if something online worries them

Working with Families

We support parents and carers by:

• Providing guidance on keeping children safe online at home
• Sharing advice on parental controls and safe internet use
• Encouraging open conversations between children and families about online activity

Online safety is embedded within our wider safeguarding culture and reviewed regularly in line with KCSIE guidance.
