E-Safety

At Sherborne Primary School we want to help and support families enjoy the internet while being kept safe. We have a strong internet filtering system to ensure that when the children are online they are kept safe. Internet safety is regularly spoken about as part of our curriculum and we especially focus on this during Internet Safety Day. Children are helped to remember internet safety with SMART posters which are on display in every classroom. Every two years we invite Dorset Police to run sessions for students, parents and staff.

 

Resources for home

If you would like to speak to someone about using the internet at home with your children, then please contact the office. Childnet provides some excellent resources to use at home with your children. They have produced an Online Safety Agreement to use at home.
