Parent Information: Online Safety

North Leigh Primary School provides a diverse, balanced and relevant approach to the use of technology. Children are encouraged to maximise the benefits and opportunities that technology has to offer. We ensure that children learn in an environment where security measures are balanced appropriately with the need to learn effectively. Here at North Leigh, we aim to equip children with the skills and knowledge to use technology appropriately and responsibly. We teach children how to recognise the risks associated with technology and how to deal with them, both within and outside the school environment.

The Internet use is part of the statutory curriculum and a necessary tool for learning. Internet access is an entitlement for children who show a responsible and mature approach to its use. Internet is a part of everyday life for education, business and social interaction. The school has a duty to provide children with quality Internet access as part of their learning experience. Our children use the Internet widely outside school and need to learn how to evaluate Internet information and to take care of their own safety and security.

Safer Internet Day 2023

In school we have been celebrating Safer Internet Day with this year’s theme ‘Want to talk about it?’. Online safety has a high profile throughout the year and is discussed regularly as part of our Computing and PSHE curriculum.

This year the theme is ‘Want to talk About it? – Making spaces for conversations about online life’ with the aim of putting children at the heart the discussion, with the aim of asking parents, carers, teachers, government, policymakers, and the wider online safety industry to take time to listen to children and young people and make positive change together.
