E-Safety

E-safety Lead: Christopher Hyde

Link Governor: Steve Howse

 

All our pupils have an e-safety assembly as a class every Thursday. These are discussions facilitated by adults around issues relevant to each class. Teaching staff understand the need for pupils to know who to talk to if they are uncomfortable with something they have seen or experienced online, so this is regularly discussed during these assemblies.

                                                                       

We supported Safer Internet Day 2023 on Tuesday 7th February, with the theme 'want to talk about it?'.

Safer Internet Day 2024 was on Tuesday 6th February, with the theme 'inspiring change'.
