Online Safety

Internet Safety

At Stanley Grove, we recognise that technology and the internet play an important role in children’s learning and everyday lives. We are committed to helping our pupils learn how to use the internet safely, responsibly and respectfully.

Online safety is taught throughout the curriculum and is an important part of our computing and safeguarding education. Pupils learn how to protect their personal information, recognise potential risks online and understand how to report anything that makes them feel uncomfortable or unsafe.

In school, we use secure filtering and monitoring systems to help keep pupils safe when using the internet. Staff also regularly discuss online safety with pupils through lessons, assemblies and themed events such as Safer Internet Day.  We use the DARES computing curriculum which includes digital safety lessons in each unit of work. 

We believe that working in partnership with parents and carers is essential in keeping children safe online. We encourage families to talk regularly with their children about their online activity and to ensure appropriate supervision and privacy settings are in place when using devices at home.

If you would like further advice or support about keeping children safe online, please contact the school office or visit trusted websites such as ThinkUKnow and Childnet for guidance and resources below.
