Online Safety at Swimbridge

As a school, we are keen to promote the safe use of technology both in and out of school.  We feel that modelling safe technology use and talking about safe behaviours online is fundamental in ensuring that your child has the best possible chance of being safe online and reporting concerns appropriately if they do occur.  By working between home and school, we feel that children have the best possible chances of safely navigating the digital world.

The digital world is constantly changing but there are key skills and behaviours that have been taught for generations that remain prevalent in helping children understand and remain safe when accessing and communicating online. Online Safety is taught in two ways at Swimbridge Primary School:

• We teach an embedded and progressive approach through the modelling of behaviours, encouraging children to be curious, challenging online behaviours of others and learning how to interact with others in different situations on and offline.  It is through the relationships we have with the children that we are able to support and advise on anything happening in 'real time'. 

• Additionally we use the Project Evolve resources to ensure that we have addressed all areas appropriate for a child's age and development.
