Keeping our pupils safe online

Every device that connects to the internet is filtered and monitored by Smoothwall software. This filters out harmful and inappropriate content. Any attempt to access inappropriate content is monitored and reports sent to the Head Teacher. In extreme and very rare cases, a phone call is made to the school to alert staff to serious breaches. The Safeguarding Governor, Mrs Bader, regularly reviews any incidents with the DSL team. The Head Teacher reports on any incidents to the LGB.l.

National Safer Internet Day is celebrated in school in February.

Online Safety Week is also celebrated in May.
