Online Safety

ICT is an integral part of the way our school works, and is an important resource for pupils, staff, managers, volunteers and visitors. It supports teaching and learning, pastoral and administrative functions of the school.

However, the ICT resources and facilities our school uses also pose risks to data protection, online safety and safeguarding. We ensure that all ICT resources are used responsibly by adhering to data protection legislation, following statutory safeguarding guidance, and embedding online safety into our curriculum.
