Online Safety
Computing in the 21st Century is seen as an essential resource to support learning and teaching, as well as playing an important role in our everyday lives. Manland Primary School believes in the effective use of computing in order to arm our pupils with the skills to access life-long learning and employment. Whilst exciting and beneficial both in and out of the context of education, much computing, particularly web-based resources, is not consistently policed. We believe that our school community needs to be aware of the range of risks associated with the use of these Internet technologies.
At Manland, we understand our responsibility to educate our pupils on internet safety issues; teaching them the appropriate behaviours and critical thinking skills to enable them to remain both safe and legal when using the internet and related technologies, in and beyond the context of the classroom.
Online Safety PolicyIf I was playing a game on my iPad and something bad popped up, I would not press on it and would tell my Mummy.
Jaxson – Reception
If I saw something that made me feel scared or angry, I would tell an adult.
Jack – Year 1
In class, be sensible and only use the games your teacher tells you we can, don’t fiddle or change the site. Audrey – Year 3If you see something you don’t like or it makes you feel worried, always tell an adult.
William – Year 4
It’s important you don’t talk to strangers when you are online.
Suri – Year 5
Do not give away your personal information. If I wanted a new game, my parents would make sure I am old enough and check the settings for me.
Bess – Year 6
Don’t play games that are not appropriate, don’t play games or talk to strangers. Decline friend requests from people you don’t know in real life.
