Online Safety

Nether Stowe School with staff, pupils and parents/carers work together to create a school community which values the use of new technologies in enhancing learning, encourages responsible use of ICT, and follows agreed policies to minimise potential e-safety risks.

We discuss, monitor and review our e-safety policy on a regular basis, linking it with other relevant policies such as Safeguarding, Pupil Behaviour and Anti-Bullying Policies. We support staff in the use of ICT as an essential tool for enhancing learning and in the embedding of e-safety across the whole school curriculum.

We ensure that pupils are aware of the potential e-safety risks associated with the use of ICT and mobile technologies, that pupils feel able and safe to report incidents and abide by the school’s specific guidance in relation to mobile phones policy.

We provide opportunities for parents/carers to receive e-safety education and information, to enable them to support their children in developing good online behaviour.

There is also a really useful link on our website called Thinkuknow which gives support to parents / carers and children. The link below takes you to free Parental Control Software.
