E-safety

Always be careful when you are using the internet. It can help you to keep in touch with your friends and help your education – but it can also cause harm – to you and to others. Help is always available at school if you are having any problems online, whether this is at home or in school. Don’t be afraid to talk to your teacher or another adult at school.   

It is useful for parents to be aware of the age limit restrictions on some social media platforms. These apps have age limits for a reason, and we strongly urge you to support us in avoiding the use of these apps at home.
