Online Safety

At Albrighton, we believe that Online safety should be embedded throughout the curriculum and experiences children have at school. They are exposed to Online safety in a variety of settings during their time at Albrighton. Explicit teaching of Online Safety is is taught through the Computing Curriculum, PSHE lessons and assemblies. The purpose of this page is to help you, as parents, keep your children safe when they are online.

 

See the Computing Subject Page or read our Online Safety Policy October 23 for further information.
