Online Safety
We believe that educating our children about being safe online is very important. As part of our Computing curriculum all children from Foundation Stage to Year Six follow our Online Safety Scheme of Work focusing on identifying some of the risks about being on-line and how to keep themselves safe.
Every month, parents are sent a copy of an online safety newsletter produced by Knowsley Trust. This gives good advice to parents about how to keep their child safe online and helps to keep up to date with the latest trends.
They have produced a very useful booklet for parents regarding how to add parental controls
