E-Safety

_N8A7199

At Carrington Primary School the safety of our children is our primary concern and we recognise that this also means a commitment to educating our children in ways to stay safe in the ever-changing world of technology.  It is our experience that this is best achieved by embedding e-safety across the curriculum, through a framework of effective policies and routes for reporting concerns such as cyberbullying. Children in Years 1 to 6 have one e-safety assembly every half-term where we educate them on the responsible and safe use of the internet in many different forms.

Visit our policies page to view the school e-Safety Policy

Children’s mobile phones are not allowed in school unless there is an arrangement agreed between the class teacher and the child’s parents/carers. Should you need to contact your child during the day this can be done through the school office.

School devices such as iPads and laptops are rigorously filtered and monitored using specialist software to ensure that the content accessed on devices at school is safe and appropriate. See our Filtering and Monitoring Policy.

Smartphones

Smartphones are for many essential parts of everyday life but we know there is also a range of risks that children face when using them. Use this link to find out more about their impact and what some parents are doing about it.

You may choose to sign the ‘Parent Pact‘, and join a fast-growing community of families across the UK who are choosing to wait to give to give their child a smartphone until at least, the end of year 9.
