Today’s children are growing up in a digital world, living their lives seamlessly on and offline. This creates many positive and exciting opportunities for children to explore and connect with others. However, it also presents challenges and risks.

Our aim is to equip our children with the knowledge needed to make the best use of the internet and technology in a safe, considered and respectful way, so they are able to reap the benefits of the online world.  We build in opportunities to grow critical awareness of their own and other’s online behaviour, and develop effective strategies for staying safe. 

​

We have written a progression pathway for online safety which is delivered within computing lessons and several other curriculum subjects/aspects. We aim to use our teaching of online safety to ensure our children build healthy relationships with others and strengthen their own wellbeing and mental health.  We have created a culture where cyber bullying is not tolerated and reported incidents are dealt with quickly and effectively.
