The aim of our e-safety commitment to pupils, parents and staff is to provide a safe environment through our use of modern technology. We aim to educate good usage and positively encourage learning through safe interaction with a range of tablet and online technologies.

However, with the proliferation of mobile services e-safety is more apparent than ever before. To this end, please find below a selection of online resources for pupils, parents and staff alike. The sites listed below are by no means exhaustive but do give a great introduction to e-safety.  We hope you will find them useful to engage you and your child in constructive conversation about e-safety.

Please do not hesitate to get in touch should you have any questions.
