Online Safety
The internet is essential in 21st century life for education, business and social interaction.

Safer Internet Day 2024
On Tuesday 6th February, the children had an assembly for Safer Internet Day 2024. The focus was on 'Change' and how the internet, apps and games are constantly changing. It looked at how some of these changes can make us feel excited and curious, but also feel worried, scared or anxious. Please find attached links to The UK Safer Internet Centre which has some fantastic information about how to approach discussion with children, and answer any questions you may have about parental control and other advice.
