The College is committed to ensuring the safety of its students in their use of modern technologies. As the Internet has grown the issues have become broader, touching not only the PC, but mobile phones and gaming.
We have undertaken Online Safety Weeks in the past, which highlighted to students some key messages to do with online safety. Students took part in a ‘Facebook MOT’ session to encourage them to address the security settings on their social networking profile; this was supported by a series of themed gatherings and in-session activities tailored to each year group.
More generally, we teach Online Safety awareness as part of the curriculum throughout all Key Stages.
On this page, you will find several resources, for both parents & carers and children that highlight some of the issues related to Online Safety – we hope you find them useful.
The College has also made available its guide for protecting yourself on Facebook. It contains advice on how to increase security of your account and privacy settings, as well as information on blocking other users from seeing your profile.
