Safer Internet Day
Today, Tuesday 7th February 2023, is Safer Internet Day.
 
This year's theme is 'Want to talk about it? Make space for conversations about life online.' 
This formed the focus of our whole school assembly yesterday and has been the focus of lessons today.
 
However, it is important to remember, that although there is a day to mark it, we focus on the importance of safe internet use throughout the year. Our computing and PSHE curriculum supports this approach.

We have recently signed up to a newsletter to support parents and pupils at home. There will be a monthly edition (see above) but there is also a special edition for today as it is Safer Internet Day.
