Online Safety at Town Field Primary

Our Safer Schools App, delivered in partnership with Zurich Municipal, helps get people the right information when and wherever they need it.
Online Safety at Town Field
At Town Field Primary we are aware of the importance of computers in everyday society and want to provide our pupils with the skills to safely access and use the internet. We provide opportunities for children to access the internet where they are supervised and supported by adults. During their time at school, they access age appropriate websites and learn how to safely use the internet to support their learning. Our computers are safe for pupils to use and access to website and inappropriate content is filtered to keep our children safe.
Children are exposed to learning about internet safety in a number of different ways and that are embedded throughout out curriculum.

Internet - Safety Curriculum At Town Field we use Gooseberry Planet to support the teaching of our Internet-safety curriculum. This helps to provide age appropriate internet safety information for all children across school. The skills and knowledge are designed to progress thoughout school and key themes are revisited. |
