E-Safety
Safer Internet Day 2023 took place on the 7th of February 2023, with celebrations and learning based around the theme 'Want to talk about it?
To help raise awareness about E-Safety in our school and community, we wrote and performed our very own song! You can watch it here:
We also held a special 'E-Safety Breakfast' with parents and our local PCSOs to discuss different dangers that our children may be facing online. You can find the presentation used during this session below.
E-Safety is taught throughout our PSHE and Computing curriculum to all pupils, explaining and demonstrating how to stay safe and behave appropriately online.
We can only be successful in keeping children safe online if we work with parents to ensure that the E-Safety message is consistent. It is important that parents speak to their children about how they can keep safe and behave appropriately online.
