E-Safety / Online Safety

At Pluckley Church of England Primary School we believe that educating our children about being safe on-line is very important.

We recognise that the internet is a wonderful resource with some many benefits; it plays such an influential part in the children's live, as such, it is important that the children know how to use and access the internet safely.

As part of our ICT curriculum, all children from Foundation Stage to Year Six follow our Online Safety Scheme of Work focusing on identifying some of the risks about being on-line and how to keep themselves safe.

Safer Schools Online Safety App

As part of our continuing commitment to supporting both pupils and parents with online safety, we are delighted to be able to invite you to download, for free, the Safer Schools App.

The App is designed to support and protect children by educating and empowering them (and their parents) both at school and at home.

As parents and carers, you will have access to information on the popular social media platforms used by children and their friends. You are also provided with an insight on critical issues such as bullying, sexting and gaming and are given easy to follow advice on how you can make your homes and the devices you give your children safer. As a parent, you can access the app by following the steps on the attached image and using the entry code: 7440.

Pupils, via their log-in (entry code: 9342), have access to age appropriate information, advice and guidance on keeping themselves safe online. This includes sharing images, information and privacy considerations. They also have access to content on bullying and sexting and are sign posted to pathways for help should they need it.
