Online Safety

South Petherton C of E Infants and Pre-School On-Line Safety Curriculum INTENT

We aim to:

• create responsible users of the internet
• create pupils who will use the internet with discretion and make informed choices
• deliver a progressive On-Line Safety Curriculum that begins with firm foundations in our Pre-School and builds upon the knowledge and skills for our children to become digitally literate
• create resilient children who are self aware and can (with guidance) regulate their time on technology 
• provide parents with information and guidance to support Online Safety at home    

At South Petherton Infants and Pre-School, we make sure online safety is embedded within all our learning. We also have whole school online safety assemblies and special online safety lessons in class every term. 

Keeping ourselves safe

Each year, every class in the school creates their own set of rules or promises for keeping themselves safe online. 

Keeping your family safe

Please remember the importance of monitoring what your child does online, including on mobile phones, tablets and when gaming, and talk to them about what to do if anything inappropriate happens. If you have any questions, please talk to your child's Class Teacher.  There are a number of excellent websites with lots of information for children and parents.
