Computing & Online Safety

An important part of our computing curriculum is ensuring that children know how to stay safe, responsible and respectful online.

During Year 6, we cover a unit about online safety, but we also revisit this important topic throughout the year.

Below are links to some websites that you might find useful to help teach your children about online safety, and some that you may find useful for yourself.

The Think U Know and Internet Matters websites have a wealth of guides, videos and resources to help children stay safe online, and they are helpfully categorised appropriately by age band. They also have advice and guides for parents too.
