Safeguarding and Online Safety

Safeguarding

Keeping children safe is a high priority for our whole school community. We strive to keep everyone safe while they are in school and within our curriculum we teach a range of age-appropriate skills to help children keep themselves safe in a variety of contexts.

We are very keen to work in partnership with parents and carers in this important area. As well as the information listed below, we hold regular coffee mornings and information meetings to discuss issues such as e-safety and health issues. Look out for more information in our newsletter and our Facebook page.

We will update this page over time so please let us know if there is anything that you feel we should include.

Each year we hold a coffee morning to discuss e-safety issues and inform families about the latest developments, we would love to have you there.

All children are given an e-safety guidance sheet in school as part of their computing lessons. If you wish to use the same sheet at home, they can be downloaded by following these links.

For additional information about the way e-safety is taught within the curriculum please click here to visit our computing curriculum page where you can view the computing policy and the curriculum overviews.
