Staying safe on-line is a key message within the curriculum and our wider safeguarding work and communication with our children and families. It is our aim that children move on to secondary school with the information and tools that they need to be able to use ICT safely and creatively.

Our E-Safety & Acceptable ICT Use policy incorporates a range of policies that deal with individual aspects of ICT use in clear, everyday language. Please find the link here.
