Online Safety
Information for Parents
Technology and the Internet can be fantastic – they can help our children to learn, to create amazing things, to communicate and to entertain themselves and each other. Our children are surrounded by this technology – it is part and parcel of their daily lives.
Using technology and the Internet well is about using it safely and responsibly. Things can go wrong by accident or if behaviour isn’t sensible or respectful. Our job is not to stop our young people from using technology but to ensure that they have the necessary knowledge, skills and understanding to successfully navigate themselves through the online world, so they become good digital citizens.
Digital Ambassadors
Within school, in order to keep pupils safe online, we have 14 digital ambassadors who have been selected to take on this important position of responsibility. These children received three days training from The Wider Learning Team to teach them how to use the online world positively, how to be aware of the risks and how to make the right choices.
Our Digital Ambassadors are a positive ongoing support in school to help other pupils, parents, teachers and Governors to be more aware of online Safety. They regularly monitor online concern slips to support each other in the online world.
