Keeping your child safe online
The internet is an amazing place with so much to offer and so much a part of our lives.
We want to make sure that, when our children are using the internet, they stay safe just like we would in real life.
At school, we have termly assemblies and termly lessons about online safety but it is something that we are always discussing and talking about with the children. The games, apps and sites are ever changing and, on this page, we will keep you up to date with what you need to know.
