Similar to other pupils across the country, children here at Leavening Community Primary School spend a great deal of time using the internet within school and at home.
We value computing within our school and encourage our children to experience different ways of accessing modern technology. From laptops to tablets, our children are able to access and research a wealth of resources and explore different technologies to suit their learning styles.
The E-Safety of our children is of paramount importance to the school and something that we monitor and revisit regularly with both staff and children.
Our children are continuously reminded about how to stay safe on the internet and how to seek help and advice if they require it. The following links will help both parents and children with e-safety advice and guidance.
The online world is rapidly developing and many of our children now have access to devices which enable them to connect to the internet, take images or video and communicate with others. While it is important not to obstruct them from developing skills from using these devices, it is essential that parents support their children in navigating the online world.
We have a regular visit PC who visits the school to speak to all children about keeping safe on the internet; reinforcing the schools E-safety policies.
Please see attached PowerPoint regarding internet safety.
Below are some links to help you keep your children safe online at home. Please get in touch if you would like any more support.
