Online Safety
Online safety is an integral part of our Computing curriculum and is reinforced across the wider school curriculum and through a range of activities. We use Common Sense Education resources to support our teaching, alongside PSHE/RSE lessons, assemblies, workshops, police visits, Cyber Sid sessions and enrichment events such as Safer Internet Day. Pupils develop the knowledge and skills to make safe and responsible choices online, recognise potential risks, protect their personal information, communicate respectfully and understand how and where to report concerns.
