Online Safety
We use Project Evolve to teach online safety to all our pupils. All classes take part in fortnightly lessons.
In addition to our fortnightly lessons, children have completed a pupil code of conduct so that they are aware of our expectations and understand how to keep themselves online.
Children are reminded of the code of conduct when using the chromebooks in school and any breaches are reported immediately to the SLT team. We take part in the National Safer internet day and also complete online anti bullying sessions with the children too. Our children are familiar with the 'zip it, block it, flag it' code and we refer to this regularly to remind the children of potential inappropriate materials online.
Our regular newsletter to parents always contains a poster from: https://nationalonlinesafety.com/ to ensure parents are also aware of how to keep their children safe online.
We have also been working with the NSPCC to highlight the importance of online safety. To children, online friends are real friends. Online life is real life. There's no distinction.
