We ensure that our children are equipped with the skills and resilience to be responsible, respectful and safe users of technology.
We want the children to see the benefits of technology but understand the risks and responsibilities that come with using it. We have a comprehensive long term plan ensuring that all children have dedicated, age appropriate lessons. In addition, we continually discuss relevant concerns with children and parents.
New digital technologies offer a wealth of opportunities for children and young people to learn, create and communicate. As parents and carers, our natural desire is to keep our children safe. In every aspect of development – from learning to cross the road, ride a bike or swim – parents must teach, guide and support their children: the online world is no different.
Support for Parents
The best defence against any online risk is openness, awareness and education. Talk with your children about their online activities, share their experiences and learn from them. Help them to use technology positively and responsibly, and give them boundaries, guidance and support.
We’d therefore like to share some useful links to help you, in partnership with us here in school, to teach your child how to use the internet safely and responsibly.
