Online Safety


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.

During Internet Safety Day and Children's Mental Health  Week 2023, some of Year 5 made a helpful video of how to stay safe online.

If you or anyone you know is worried about Child Exploitation, Online Protection or anything related to Internet safety, please click the link below which will take you to the CEOP reporting website: 

This provides support when setting up parental controls on any devices that children may have access to. 

www.google.co.uk/familysafety - This provides practical tools to help choose what content children see online. Look out for the video tips on how to set up safe searching on Google and YouTube. Each of the search engines including the top 5 e.g. Yahoo, Virgin, Bing! (formerly MSN) ASK and Aol will have their own internet safety pages. You can search for these on the home page.
