Online Safety
The aim of any good school should be to ensure that your child leaves ready for the next stage of their education and early adult life. Technology is developing at a rapid pace and part of that preparation is ensuring that pupils have a thorough grasp of the opportunities that technology offers. In school we train our pupils to make the best, sensible and safe use of these powerful, liberating tools. Working with parents, we aim to ensure that our pupils are trained for the digital age, able to harness the huge advantages of digital literacy, yet educated to be safe and secure online as both responsible children and adults of the future.
Please see our Curriculum page for further details of our Computing and PSHE curriculum.
At Brabourne CEP School we have an annual ‘Online Safety focus week’. In addition, all classes study Online Safety as an integrated part of their Computing and PSHE programme.
Parents/carers can, rightly, be very concerned about online behaviour and conduct and so we have provided some factsheets (below) about the most common risks that children will face. These factsheets and other resources can also be found on the Parent Resource Hub of the Safeguarding Training Centre.
The school's Online Safety policy can be found here: Policies
