E-safety

This page contains different resources available to help with E-safety. We will also post guidance, our E-safety policy and activities that you may find useful. If you have any queries or would like to discuss E-safety you can contact our Safe-Guarding team or Mr Wilson (E-safety leader, EPICT qualified).

E-safety can be defined as the safe and responsible use of technology and is as much about behaviour as it is security.

E-Safety Policy 2019– this policy outlines the schools approach to E-safety.
