First and foremost-please look, check and note what your child is watching and engaging with online. We are deeply concerned that games may seem innocent when you might be checking in but the content is not always appropriate. Videos made with such games are also inappropriate with voice over conversations and comments, of which you would most likely not want your child exposed to. No child in our school should have any access to Tik Tok. If your child has this APP, please remove it as a matter of safeguarding.
Please download our Safer School APP, where you will receive alerts about current online safeguarding issues and trends to be mindful of. Thank you.

It is so important that we understand how to keep ourselves safe. We need to keep safe online, whilst we are out and about and help each other to be safe and happy. We have theme weeks eg Anti-Bullyng Week, Black History Month, Water Safety, Road Safety, Stranger Danger, Pantasaurus, Mini-Medics and much more. Parent information evenings are led by children.
