E-Safety at Ashton Vale

E-safety during lock down

​Children may be accessing some of their learning online and using technology more as a form of socialising and communication  during the lock down period. Therefore we feel it is even more important to ensure that we are still educating our children about both the benefits, and potential dangers, of the Internet. 

The website below is sharing fortnightly home resource packs (15-30 mins of input) for children to work through with an adult and we felt these would be a useful resource to look at and discuss with your child if time allows. As the website states, new packs will be released fortnightly so do remember to keep re-visiting!

As a reminder, you can help to keep your children safe online by having parental controls set up and monitoring what they are accessing online. Advice and information on how to do this can be found here:

At Ashton Vale Primary we take E-safety very seriously. This page explains how we teach E-safety and has ideas for parents to follow this up at home. We follow the SMART rules to make sure we stay safe when using the internet. Please read on to find links to sites that can help children and parents with esafety.
Parents - Please download this leaflet about internet safety.  This explains lots of the things discussed at our E-safety meeting and gives you lots of ideas how to make sure your child remains safe online.
