Staying Safe Online
In school, children are taught how to 'stay safe online' from an early age. On this page there are a selection of resources to help you re-enforce the importance of e-safety with your child. If you have any questions about e-safety or, if you are concerned about your child's online activities, please come and speak with your child's class teacher or our e-safety leaders, Mrs Leak or Mrs Frost.

If someone send you a message or email which makes you feel uncomfortable, tell an adult at home or at school.
When you are surfing the internet, if you find a site which makes you feel uncomfortable show an adult.
Don't tell anyone your passwords, even your best friends.
