Online Safety

Learning happens best when people feel safe, valued, and genuinely connected. Our relational approach shapes everything we do — from how we respond to behaviour, to how we work with families.

Our approach

Keeping our pupils safe online is a key part of our commitment to safeguarding. Our approach to online safety is built around protecting and educating pupils, staff and families. We recognise that pupils may encounter a range of online risks, and we work to ensure every member of our community is equipped to navigate the digital world with confidence.

Online Risks We Address

We proactively educate and support our school community to navigate the digital world safely, focusing on the four key areas of online risk.

Inappropriate content

Exposure to content that is harmful, distressing or age-inappropriate online.

Unsafe interactions

Contact with people online who may not be who they say they are, or who may cause harm.

Harmful behaviour

Unkind, bullying or abusive behaviour directed at or by pupils in online spaces.

Scams & financial risks

Online scams, phishing, or financial exploitation targeting children and families.

How we teach and support

In the classroom

A planned curriculum approach

Through a carefully planned curriculum, pupils learn how to use technology safely and respectfully, protect their personal information, and seek help if something worries them. We promote positive online behaviour and encourage pupils to treat others with kindness — both online and offline.
