Online-Safety
In an ever-changing technological world, it is important to us that we ensure our pupils are kept safe when accessing the internet. At Heartwood CE VC Primary and Nursery School, we embrace the positive effects that technology can have upon our learning and ensure that the risks of using the internet are minimised and monitored to ensure that all our pupils are kept safe.
E-Safety is promoted in our school through the use of a Safer Internet Day, e-Safety posters in all computing areas and the teaching of e-Safety as part of our PSHE learning. E-Safety is also taught through our Computing curriculum.
Full printed copies of our policies are available on request.
Mrs Rebecca Starman, Headteacher and DSL, is the school's designated Online Safety lead.
If you are unsure of how to keep your child safe online then the links below have several handy hints and tips, as well as fun and informative videos and games that teach children how to stay safe when accessing the internet.
The recent visit to Heartwood by The Two Johns team was reported in the January edition of Footprints, the Diocesan Board of Education's newsletter (see below). If you would like to explore the advice from The Two Johns, they have a really useful Carers and Parents webpage which is packed full of advice covering a range of topics.
