E-Safety

The internet is amazing.  Children can create, connect, play and learn - opening up a world of exciting posibilities.  But with the digital world evolving all the time, how can you ensure your child is staying safe?

The NSPCC website has lots of useful advice for you, including how to set up parental controls and how to talk to your child about being safe online.   The NSPCC has a link to 'Net Aware' - a parent guide to the most popular social platforms.  It gives you information about the sites, apps and games your child may use and can help you to make an informed decision about whether you think they are suitable.

As part of the Curriculum for Wales your child will discuss and learn how we can all stay safe online and about the dangers we may face on the internet.  We get involved with national Internet Safety Day, which is held on the second Tuesday every February each year, click here for more information.  

We encourage pupils to speak to a trusted adult if they are unhappy about anything they see online.   Our school internet provider operates a filtering system which restricts access to inappropriate materials.  Every pupil signs an ICT code of conduct when they get to Year 3  so that we know they have understood our school's rules on staying safe.
