Online Safety
The Internet is a wonderful tool to use but there are also risks if not used appropriately. At Cherhill CofE Primary School we learn about the importance of Online Safety. This is taught through discussion, drama, stories and other activities. Children are taught what to do if they experience something they don’t like online and where to seek advice both at home and in school.
Online Safety is taught throughout the year and discretely through the first part of the Autumn term as part of our computing scheme. For more information please see our Curriculum page.
Below is a website that you may find useful if you need to seek support or advice.
You are also welcome to contact our Online Safety coordinator, Mr Andrew Ind.
