As a school community we value the use of new technologies in enhancing learning, encourage responsible use of ICT, and follow agreed policies to minimise potential e-safety risks. Pupils have a right to access these systems in a safe and controlled way and the responsibility to use the systems carefully and within the guidelines set at school.
In school we teach specific Internet Safety modules from Nursery to Year 6 at the start of each Computing session. Pupils are regularly reminded of the issues associated with using the internet through our 22 ways to stay safe online .
Online Safety is an important part of keeping children safe at Whinmoor St Paul’s Primary School . We have extensive security measures in place in school, which are monitored both internally and externally, to help safeguard pupils from potential dangers or unsuitable material. Any Online Safety incidents are recorded and managed.
In recent years there has been a convergence of different technologies. As well as computers, today’s games consoles allow us to play more than just games. We can now also play DVDs, go online & chat to the person we are playing with. So your child may be playing a game with someone from the other side of the world and much more besides!
Does your child play Roblox? Minecraft? Do they have TikTok account? Want to make sure they are safe? Browse and filter through thousands of titles to find information you need relating to different gaming platforms, apps, websites and general online safety advice.
