During this period of home learning it is important to consider online safety.

Every year each year group complete a unit of work on Online Safety. In addition to this, when using technology in school, we are constantly reminding children of how they should stay safe online. It is important that this should continue at home.

The following link will help you learn about online safety at home with your child. Every two weeks a new learning pack is released with simple 15 minutes activities you can do with your child.

When your child is using the Purple Mash platform any interaction between pupils is monitored by staff and should you have any questions and wish to contact us please do so through your year group email address.

If you require any information about online safety you can refer to the links in the ’Online Safety’ section of the school website or app.

If you have any concerns about your child online they can be reported through the CEOP (Child Exploitation and Online Protection) website.
