E-Safety Week
E-Safety is an important part of the school curriculum. Technology has an ever increasing level of importance in our lives and can enrich many parts of it but we must ensure that we are using modern technology in a safe way. Educating our children happens at school through our computing curriculum, in PSHE and through school assemblies. Another key way we support children is through our E-Safety meetings with parents and carers. These happened annually but with so many developments and the importance of the school working clearly with parents and carers to best support the work they do with children at home, we have increased this to half-termly meetings for the 2021-22 academic year. If you miss a meeting, you will find the latest PP used below.
