Online Safety

At Moulton CEVC Primary School, keeping children safe online is an important part of our safeguarding responsibility. Technology plays a valuable role in children's education and daily lives, and we are committed to helping pupils use it safely, responsibly and respectfully.

Online safety is taught throughout our curriculum and reinforced through collective worship, assemblies, class discussions and whenever new risks or concerns emerge. As the digital world continues to evolve, we regularly review our curriculum and safeguarding procedures to ensure that our teaching remains current and reflects the latest guidance and online trends. We work closely with parents and carers, recognising that developing safe online habits is most effective when school and home work together.

We encourage our pupils to think critically, make responsible choices online and know how to seek help if something worries or upsets them. Above all, we want every child to feel confident, informed and safe whenever they use technology.
