Follow the link below to read our online safety policy in the 'policies' section:

We urge all parents to speak to their children, nieces, nephews etc. and other children about what to do if they are frightened by something they see online.  If you have a safeguarding concern please speak to the Headteacher or phone Cumbria safeguarding hub on 0300 373 2724.

Useful Tips for Online Safety

Please encourage children to :-

• Talk to a parent/carer/trusted adult if they see anything or hear anything that is scaring them.

• If they are told ‘not to tell their parents’ then that is a green light to go straight to an adult.

• Not to download or accept any unknown contacts on social media or particularly WhatsApp.

• Follow the link for Vodafone's digital parenting website, which offers resources and support for families to get the most out of tech and enjoy happy digital lives.

• Follow the link to the NSPCC's 'setting parental controls' page to help keep your child safe online.

Filtering and monitoring of websites used by pupils in our school

As a school we have appropriate and compliant filtering in place in school so children can safely access the internet for their learning. We use the Westmorland & Furness Council filtering which is through Securly. 

Online safety guidance is routinely shared on our social media page and on this webpage.
