Jobs need to be filled by staff who feel comfortable with a range of technological devices and understand how these can connect to a world of huge possibilities. However, we also acknowledge that children, through their innocence, may encounter and become involved in dangers whilst online. Below are a range of guidelines, resources and advice about how to keep your child safe as well as an overview of how we approach ESafety with your child..
- Mrs L Windle ( Head Teacher - DSL )
- Mr W Askham ( Deputy Head - E-Safety Lead )
- Mrs M Bolsover ( Safeguarding )
- Jill Tune ( Governor for Safeguarding )
This is why we identify all areas of the curriculum that ICT is taught. Responsible online behaviour must be encouraged in pupils, and they must be suitably taught to increase their knowledge and awareness about online safety, which includes: sexting, pornography, downloading, gaming, cyberbullying and social networking
Our vision is for our pupils to be ESMART ambassadors both within school and within the family home. Contact the school for further information on ESafety and up and coming ESafety events.
