At Henleaze Infant School we value the use of computers and the internet to enhance pupils' learning. We also recognise the increased necessity to teach pupils to navigate its use safely. These are the online safety rules that we have and follow in school.

The key areas that we follow in school are taken from Education for a Connected World as follows:

 

 

 

Online safety Curriculum

Each year group has a document that maps out the content of their online safety teaching. For details, see our Computing Curriculum Page. We halos teach children about staying safe online through our PSHE curriculum and school assemblies.

Parents' Area

There are a lot of websites and resources out there aimed at parents and carers to help them keep their children safe online. These are some of the best sources.

 

Common Sense Media parents section has a large database with information and reviews for apps, games and films, including age ratings to help you judge suitability.

It has a huge library of handy one page guides for a variety of apps and games including information about adjusting the parental control settings.

Internet Matters has a wealth of information aimed parents and carers split into different age ranges.

It has step-by-step instructions of how to set up parental controls on all devices and apps/websites/games.

NSPCC has advice on starting conversations with your child about online safety and parental controls.
