Online Safety

We are dedicated to preparing the children for their futures in an ever changing digital world by teaching them how to keep themselves safe online.    

Education for a Connected World

We use government guidance 'Education for a Connected World' as a framework to equip our children for digital life. This framework outlines the digital knowledge and skills that children should have the opportunity to develop at appropriate stages of their lives. Further information about this framework can be viewed on the following web page:

SMART Reminders

We use 'SMART' posters in classrooms to remind our children about key online safety points:

Gaming

Please see below parent information guides for some current games and online platforms, detailing why they are not suitable for infant-aged children. 

Age restrictions must always be checked before allowing your child to play or access an online game or platform. Please note that it is deemed a safeguarding concern if your child plays a game that is not appropriate for them.
