ONLINE SAFETY

Dear Parents & Carers,

Using online technology brings wonderful opportunities to have fun and learn. However, as you know, staying safe online is incredibly important and ensuring that your children are able to use this technology safely is essential.

Please be assured that we follow a comprehensive online safety curriculum in school to prepare and support the children to be safe whilst online. However, it is really important that parents and carers are aware of how to support their children navigate the online world whilst outside of school. To support you do this, I send out regular online safety messages which can help keep you up-to-date with the fast moving technological world.

Please also visit our school website online safety page for really useful information and weblinks to help you keep you and your children safe whilst online.

REGULAR ONLINE SAFETY COMMUNICATION
As I mentioned earlier, I will post regular online safety messages on ClassDojo. I hope that these will keep you informed about the fast changing online world and help you support your children to stay safe whilst online.

If you have any concerns regarding any online safety issues please do not hesitate to contact your child's class teacher.

Thank you.

Mr Skirton
