Internet Safety

Keeping our children safe is everyone’s responsibility.

Further information from NSPCC on how to ensure children are safe whilst online, how to set up parental controls and technical advice can be found at: https://www.nspcc.org.uk and https://www.o2.co.uk/help/nspcc

“The YouGov survey of more than 2,000 parents of children aged 8 to 13 suggests a worrying ‘digital delay’, as parents may be postponing conversations with their kids about staying safe online.

The findings reveal that although 91% of 8 year olds use the internet at least once a week, on average parents think that children should be at least 9 before tackling issues of online safety with them.” (NSPCC website).

In school, the children learn more about internet safety, cyber resilience and develop their knowledge of digital literacy, coding and computing science using iPads, PCs, laptops and our new Active Panels in the senior classes.
