We have an active Online Safety Committee with governors, staff, and pupil representatives. The committee meet termly to evaluate and develop safe working practices in school for pupils, staff and parents in relation to Online Safety. We are very proud to have been re-accredited with the 360 Online Safety Award for the 3rd time.
They aim to provide opportunities for parents, staff and children to receive online safety education and information, so that they can feel confident in supporting the school community to develop good online safety behaviour.
Online Safety Committee
As a school we ensure that pupils are aware, through online safety education, of the potential online safety risks associated with the use of ICT and emerging technologies. We ensure that all online safety concerns are dealt with sensitively and effectively; that pupils feel able and safe to report incidents and that pupils abide by the school’s online safety policy.
Want to Talk About It
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? Making space for conversations about life online’.
The online safety committee delivered an assembly to start the day. Each class spent time looking at how they can use technology responsibly and also empowering and supporting them to talk about their online experiences. These conversations can be about all the exciting things they do on the internet and also to be confident to talk about their concerns to their trusted adults.
