Working on-line

The internet is a fantastic place overflowing with knowledge, games and communities of people, and, just like pupils across the country, the pupils here at Monks Abbey Primary School spent a great deal of time using the internet within school and at home. This is why it is important pupils learn how to be safe when browsing online and becoming members of online communities.

Safe searching

Searching for information can be tricky and if you have not got the safe search function set you can get some unpleasant search results. Some good "kid safe" search engines are:

• www.safesearchkids.com
• www.askforkids.com
• www.kidsclick.org
• http://www.youtube.com/education
•  

You should also think about setting up your own safety - see this link for more details on setting up internet filtering and parental controls.

e-safety in school

In school, children learn about E-Safety through a scheme of lessons along with assemblies and workshops with parents. We also encourage parents/carers to talk to their children about how to behave safety when online, to ensure pupils remain safe when browsing at home.

Our children know to report any inappropriate content, contact or conduct they encounter online to CEOP (Child Exploitation and Online Protection Centre) by visiting this page and clicking our report button below.
