Online Safety

It is important to remember to always be careful when you are using the internet. It can help you to keep in touch with your friends and help your education – but it can also cause harm – to you and to others.

Remember help is always available at school if you are having any problems online. 

Don’t be afraid to talk to your teacher or another adult at school.

 

Please see below for a range of videos and resources to help you learn more about staying safe online. You may notice some resources which we already use in school to teach you about online safety.
