Staying Safe Online
E-safety is an integral part of children’s education in today’s digital world and is embedded in their learning at school. We want to help our parents and children improve their own understanding of e-safety issues so they can learn to use the internet and all digital media in a safe and secure way.
At St Michael's we teach online safety explicitly through our PSHE curriculum and in dedicated whole school online safety days to ensure all children in our school have the skills and knowledge to keep themselves and others safe online. Visit our Curriculum page on Computing for more information about waht is taught when, and click here for our Online Safety Policy
Parent Guides
As part of our commitment to supporting families in navigating their child's journey through the online world, we send regular "Wake-up Wednesday" parent guides on useful topics via Class Dojo. Below are some of these to look back over if needed. Just click on the image to open up a larger PDF. These will be added to regularly, but if you think you need support on a topic which is not yet included, please let us know.
