How is Online Safety taught at Lovington?
We use the Somerset Active Bytes scheme of work at an age-appropriate level so that our children progressively learn how to keep themselves safe online and become considerate and responsible users of the internet.
Below is an overview of the way we teach online safety to our pupils from Reception to Year 6.
Information for parents, carers and children.
It can be challenging to ensure that a child is using technology safely. Below you will find some links that should help you, whether that is judging if something is appropriate for primary aged children or through developing your understanding of how children are using technology.
Computer Time at Home and Family Agreements
It is always good to have a family agreement about the use of technology. A family agreement is a great way to start a conversation about how you all use the internet and discuss together how to behave in a positive way when online at home, at school or at a friend’s house. A good example is the Child Net Family Agreement which can be found at: https://www.childnet.com/
