“Safeguarding” refers to all the things we do to make sure you are kept safe from any harm.

We will make sure that the school is a friendly, welcoming and supportive place to spend time in, making it somewhere you want to be.
We want to make sure that you know who to ask for help, and will plan lessons to help you know how to look after yourself online and in the real world.
Internet safety is an important part of keeping children safe at our school. We have lots of safety measures in place which we keep an eye on both in and outside of school, to help safeguard children.
Computers and mobile phones help us all to share things and talk to friends or family, but they can also make it easier for bullies and other people to hurt you or to get close to you. It is important to know how to keep yourself safe on your computer, your phone and on websites.
The school will help if you are sent unkind messages or if someone on the internet has asked you to do anything that has made you feel uncomfortable.
If you are unhappy with any comments or photographs you’ve seen on your computer or mobile, you can tell a staff member in school.
We have an Online Safety Policy which is there to protect you.
