Online Safety
Technology is a vital and exciting part of our lives: we encourage children to enjoy using it and above all learn to be safe in everything they do online.
E-safety plays an important part in the Linton Heights Junior School curriculum. We aim to teach children:
- How to keep their own privacy and dignity on the Internet (e.g. when creating personal accounts in or out of school)
- How to conduct their behaviour online (e.g. through what they write and publish).
- How to identify ‘danger signs’ on the internet (such as someone requesting personal information)
- The importance of raising concerns immediately and how to do this
- Who to talk to about any concerns they have in or out of school about online issues.
We also encourage parents to also take an active role in their child’s use of computers, phones and other technology.
Externally provided annual training keeps staff informed and aware of changing trends and recent practices to help keep our children safe and secure whilst online. This training is then extended forward in parent workshops and classroom activities that ensure the conversation is both present and relatable across the school community.
