# Online Safety

In our ever changing world, it is important to recognise how Online Safety is becoming a priority for us all.  Whilst the internet is a useful and informative tool, it also brings with it many keeping safe issues.

In order to keep ourselves and our families safe, it is important to ensure we provide regular inputs and checks on what is happening online.

In our school, our online safety is planned for and implemented to ensure all pupils are kept safe when working online. All children sign a “Think before you click” agreement in class. Each term we recap and revisit our Online Safety and regularly remind children of our online safety rules.
