E-Safety for Parents

                                                    

 

At St Anthony's Primary School we believe that purposeful access to ICT across the curriculum motivates and increases engagement and achievement in education. We regard it to be essential in preparing our pupils for 'a better tomorrow'. Children can now access the internet via multiple hand-held devices such as iPads, mobile phones and games consoles. As a result they are therefore more vulnerable to the inherent risks associated with internet usage.


Safeguarding our children is always a priority at St Anthony's Primary School. Staff attend on-going training in the area of e-safety and make appropriate changes to reflect new guidance. Also throughout the year the children are taught and reminded how to be a SMART and safe user of the internet.


We invite you to join with us in this journey and help us to educate and support your child in using the Internet, a learning tool which should be embraced. We have added a link below to the "Think You Know" website which is a great resource and will provide you with the information you need to help keep your child safer online.
