Safer Internet Day 2019
On Tuesday 5th February, the school took part in Safer Internet Day 2019, a national day looking at how we can make the Internet safer and better. We discussed how we can make a positive contribution and the potential risks there are when using the Internet. Well done to everyone for making the Internet a safer place to be!
E-Safety Committee
E-Safety is continuously promoted across the school and our E-Safety Champions help raise awareness.
SMART Rules
We know:
- Never give out any personal information (name, address, likes and dislikes, hobbies, telephone number) online.
- People are not always who they claim to be.
- Do not talk to strangers online or meet them in real life.
- Tell a trusted adult such as a parent, carer or teacher if something online makes them feel uncomfortable or scared.
- Spend more time with real-life friends rather than online friends.
- Do not open emails and messages from people that they do not know.
- Treat people the way they would like to be treated. For example, do not say nasty things and do not take part in cyber-bullying and to actively discourage others from taking part in online bullying.
- Do not share usernames and passwords with other people.
- Be careful about what websites you decide to visit and always check with an adult. Only go on websites that are educational and promote learning.
- Do not post photos online without parent's approval.
- The majority of social media websites including Facebook, Twitter, MySpace, Instagram and SnapChat have a minimum age of 13.

• Do try and tell the bully to stop.
