Online safety
Always be careful when you are using the internet. It can help you to keep in touch with your friends and family and help your education – but it can also cause harm – to you and to others.
Remember help is always available at school if you are having any problems online.
Don’t be afraid to talk to your teacher or another adult at school.

Online Safety
The importance of online safety for children is a key feature for children using technology both in school and at home. Further links have been added to the website to support families now and in the future.
Paul Hay has visited our school to raise awareness of a safer and better internet for all. He is happy for parents to contact him with any queries and will give parents advice. Paul has worked with the parents, teachers and children to share internet safety advice across the school community. The email below is from Paul;
"During this time, I wanted to offer my help in any way I can. With pupils being at home, they will be using the internet more than ever. This may cause extra anxiety for parents.
Your school’s parents can find lots of information from my website and I am always more than happy for parents to email me with any questions they may have about their children’s use of the internet."

Tips for staying safe online:
- Always ask a grown up before you use the internet. They can help you find the best thing to do.
- Don’t tell strangers where you live, your phone number or where you go to school. Only your friends and family need to know that.
- Don’t send pictures to people you don’t know. You don’t want strangers looking at photos of you, your friends or your family.
- Tell a familiar grown up if you feel scared or unhappy about anything.
- Make sure you keep online friends strictly online. If someone you don't know asks to be your online friend you must ensure an adult knows about it.
- Know how to use the CEOP Button and how to report it to the CEOP Centre if you are concerned about someone’s online behaviour towards you.
- You can also call ‘Childline’ on: 08001111 to talk to someone who can help.
