King Athelstan E-Safety

E-Safety is an integral part of education in today’s modern world. At King Athelstan we strive to ensure children understand the risks and key issues of E-Safety to enable them to become safe and confident internet users both in school and at home.

In School:

Children at King Athelstan are equipped to ‘Become Internet Legends’ through whole school E-Safety assemblies, as well as Computing and PSHE lessons. By equipping children with a secure knowledge and understanding of E-Safety, we are able to use the internet to enhance the curriculum and children’s learning throughout the school. If children have any concerns about anything they encounter when using the internet, they can discuss these with their class teacher, computing coordinator, the Inclusion team or any member of the senior leadership team.

At Home:

In these unprecedented times, children may be using the internet more often than usual. Please use this link for information on how to set up parental controls in order to enable your children safer access to the internet:  Parental Controls & Privacy Settings Guides – Internet Matters

Parental Controls give your child a safe space to explore their curiosity online. Our step-by-step guides will help you to set up the right controls and privacy settings on the networks, gadgets, apps, and sites they use to give them a safer online experience.

If you are still concerned about any online activity that your child has engaged in, or if they have seen something that has made them feel uncomfortable/is inappropriate, then please use the ‘Helpful Links’ below.

If you have further concerns about your child’s safety when using the internet, then you should report these to CEOP, the Child Exploitation and Online Protection agency on https://www.thinkuknow.co.uk/parents/Get-help/Reporting-an-incident/
