Staying Safe Online
Our pupils are taught about online safety as part of the curriculum.
Pupils are taught to:
- Use technology safely, respectfully and responsibly
- Recognise acceptable and unacceptable behaviour
- Identify where to go for help and support when they have concerns about content or contact on the internet or other online technologies
- Identify a range of ways to report concerns about content and contact themselves (Key Stage 2)
The following links to resources and tools have been put together to provide pupils, parents and carers with online safety advice.

This guide will help you set up parental controls and adjust privacy settings to provide your child with a safer online environment.
Parental controls can help to protect your child from seeing something that they shouldn’t — although it is important to emphasise that no system is effective all of the time, so it is important to engage with your child and talk to them about
their online life regularly.

The lurking trolls campaign has been developed jointly by the Local Safeguarding Children Partnerships (LSCPs) in Hampshire, Isle of Wight, Portsmouth and Southampton in response to the growing and changing dangers children can face online. Troll characters bring to life important issues like bullying, body image and fake news for children aged 7-11 years old. Click here for videos, cartoons, and resources for home and school to identify potential dangers, and what to do if you're worried, upset or confused about something they’ve come across online.
