Learning Platform and the Internet
We know that many of the children in our school use home computers / tablets and other multimedia devices to access the internet. The internet can be a brilliant research tool and provide children with information that could otherwise be hard to find. Please be vigilant when your children are using the internet at home and make sure that the parental blocking features on your computer are turned on. We hold an annual E-Safety/Internet Safety talk for parents and as part of our computing curriculum and PSHCE (Personal, Social, Health and Citizenship Education) the children are taught how to keep safe on the internet.
Below are some good links for both you and your children, the links have some basic internet safety rules and some games that will help your children learn about internet safety.
Children have easy access to films and TV shows through their own devices, stay fully informed of the risks by visiting 'Common Sense Media'.
The parent guides are here to support you in keeping your children safe with gaming and online habbits. Please click on the PDF links below.
