Online Safety is a core area of importance for our school, for parents and carers, and for our students. It is an area that requires constant monitoring and vigilance to help ensure that our students are kept safe and well when using technology, the Internet and social media.

- Regular assemblies regarding issues surrounding Online Safety
- Online Safety content in lessons across every year group and multiple subjects
- Online Safety-based RSHE activities
- Participation in the annual Safer Internet Day
- Availability for discussion and information during parent information evenings
- Online Safety content in the school newsletter
Online Safety Education
We continually strive to ensure that our students are kept safe and well when using the Internet, social media and other forms of technology.
Dedicated Online Safety lessons take place within Year 7 Computing lessons, with the content regularly reviewed and updated to reflect the changing online environment and the issues that young people may encounter.
