Online Safety
The internet is a vast and ever-expanding space, with young people frequently using social media and online platforms for learning, creativity, and communication.
While it offers many benefits, it also comes with risks. It is essential for students to be aware of these risks so they can protect themselves and stay safe online.
The Academy teaches e-safety via our PSHE curriculum, but you may also find the below resources useful.
- Keeping your child safe online - a checklist for parents and carers
- Cyberbullying - what it is and what to do about it
- Accessing inappropriate websites
- Facebook - parents' guide
- Online grooming - the risks children face online
You'll also find a wealth of additional information on the Think You Know website which was created by the police for parents of children at secondary school.
They have also produced a Parents' Guide to E-Safety and also the following booklets to provide parents/carers with helpful information on how to explore and monitor their children’s apps.
Our E-Safety Policy can be accessed at the bottom of our Safeguarding page. Should you have any concerns about your child's e-safety, please contact a member of the safeguarding team.
