E-safety
E Safety is a crucially important factor in keeping children safe. Children are exposed to serious risks online and we must be vigilant about the dangers of interactions in the digital world.
In school, we know that technology can provide great rewards to those that learn to use it well and safely. It's up to us to make sure that these benefits are received whilst, at the same time the risks are limited.
The children are taught how to be safe online in school and we ask that parents offer the same protection for children accessing the internet at home.
