ONLINE-SAFETY

Here at Christ the King, we take e-safety very seriously. It forms a key part of our Computing Curriculum and is studied by all students across all the year groups, from Foundation right up to Year 6. We also have robust, internal procedures to protect the children whilst they are using technology in school.

With the introduction of the new Computing Curriculum and additional hardware and software being introduced to support it, throughout term 1 of the 2015/2016 academic year our e-Safety and Acceptable User Policies have gone through a rigorous review and update phase to ensure it is fit for purpose. These completed documents are available below. If you have any questions regarding them, please do not hestiate to speak with either your child/ren class teacher or the Head, Mrs Mainwaring. 
All Governors and Staff at Christ the King feel that e-safety isn't something that should just be discussed at school. Children have access to many technology devices at home and via friends and therefore we feel Parents/Carers play a key role in helping us promote the e-safety message and keep the children safe. We encourage Parents/Carers to discuss with your child the importance of safe internet usage and the dangers that technology can be, where-ever possible, please take opportunities to re-inforce the national messages being provided in school.
