E-Safety
E-safety Lead: Carrie-Ann Jackson
Link Governor: Penny Holmes
All our pupils have an e-safety assembly as a class every Thursday. These are discussions facilitated by adults around issues relevant to each class. Teaching staff understand the need for pupils to know who to talk to if they are uncomfortable with something they have seen or experienced online, so this is regularly discussed during these assemblies.
