Online Safety
Please find our Online Safety Policy which has been updated in line with Kirklees guidance on our Policies page:
One particular area of concern for parents is the use of their child’s photograph or video footage of their child. Guidance on how we manage this and make sure that children are safeguarded can be found on page 16 of the policy.
We ask for your help in this by asking that any photographs taken at school events are for personal use only and that photographs of children other than your own are not uploaded onto social media sites.
To ensure that all our children know how to keep safe on line we have produced Class Charters appropriate to the age of the children. These are shared in class and displayed. Please could you read these with your child. If you would like a paper copy please ask at the school office.
Operation Encompass
We are an Operation Encompass school, supporting child victims of domestic abuse. Please visit http://operationencompass.org for more information.
Useful Information for Parents/Carers
Below are some links that you may find useful. We hope that they will prove helpful in explaining some of the ways communication can be used, and in providing advice for guiding children’s use of the latest technologies. There are also a number of parent factfiles covering various platforms that children may use. They contain useful information about things you should be aware of.
