Online Safety

In school we filter the websites that are available to children and we regularly discuss with them how to stay safe online. We talk about the potential dangers of using the internet.

There is a wealth of information available to keep children safe online. This can also be helpful for parents who have any concerns about their childrens' safety online.

See the web links below for further information.
