E-safety

At Allington Primary School we believe that educating our children about being safe on-line is very important. As part of our ICT curriculum all children from Foundation Stage to Year Six follow our E-safety Scheme of Work focusing on identifying some of the risks about being on-line and how to keep themselves safe.

In school we have clear rules about using the internet and these are displayed in every classroom:

The poster on the right is displayed in our Infant classrooms and the ICT suite. The rules are regularly discussed with the children by their class teachers. If you would like your own copy for home then you can print one using the following link:
