Online-safety newsletters:

We distribute a monthly online safety newsletter to our families.

The internet and technology are an every day and essential tool for learning and socialising. The online safety agenda continues to evolve and increase, and it continues to be crucial that we recognise online safety as a key safeguarding consideration and part of our statutory safeguarding responsibilities. This newsletter forms part of our approach to safeguarding our community online.

Our online safety newsletters are provided by Knowsley City Learning Centres – click here to explore a range of useful online safety videos which include how to set up parental controls on a range of devices.

KS1 and KS2 for Safer Internet Day: “Billy and Mable’s Digital Dilemmas” – Billy and Mabel do silly, risky things online so we ask the class to discuss and give them advice about the correct way to act online. There are two presentations; one contains just the dilemmas for simple class or assembly discussion, and the second contains the dilemmas, supporting information and activities for the children to complete in Seesaw.
