• Online Safety

Wise and compassionate citizens understand the power of the internet. We want St. Ebbe’s children to embrace and make the most of the countless opportunities to connect with others and to acquire new knowledge and learn new skills whilst being able to be curious about where content has originated and to make wise decisions about how much of their time to spend online. We want them to develop an online presence which reflects compassionate citizenship whilst clearly understanding how to keep themselves and others safe when online.

Online Safety Policy

Children start using computers from a very early age and are increasingly using the Internet more and more whether it is at home, in school, on their mobile phones or on a games console. With this in mind, Internet Safety and knowing how to help protect children and young people online is essential.

At St. Ebbe’s we refer to the SMART rules for using the internet each time we go online.
