Online Safety

At Nields we are fully committed to keeping our pupils and staff safe when online and acknowledge this in our school safeguarding procedures.

As a community, we value the opportunities offered by the internet and other technologies used in everyday life but at the same time, we educate our children about the risks and highlight the steps we need to take to avoid them both in and out of school.

Our Online Safety Lead is Mr J Toon, who works in close partnership with the Leadership team and all school staff. As staff, we ensure that online safety awareness is an integral part of our computing curriculum in classes as well as in cross-curricular lessons and assemblies.

Our expectations for responsible and appropriate conduct are set out in our Acceptable Use Policies (AUP), which we expect all staff and pupils to follow. Every child takes the AUP home to read with parents and without parental signatures, children are not permitted to use the internet unsupervised.

 

If you have any questions or concerns relating to online safety, please contact the school office.
