Online Safety
At Galley Hill Primary School we are fully committed to the safeguarding of pupils and take e-safety very seriously. With the support of parents, we proactively teach our pupils how to keep themselves safe online. If pupils are asked to research class topics for information, we would advise all parents and carers to supervise these activities.
Internet safety is part of the new primary Computing curriculum which states that pupils should be taught:
| Key stage 1 |
Use technology safely and respectfully, keeping personal information private; identify where to go for help and support when they have concerns about content or contact on the internet or other online technologies. |
| Key Stage 2 | Use technology safely, respectfully and responsibly; recognise acceptable/unacceptable behaviour; identify a range of ways to report concerns about content and contact |
A range of resources are used in school to help children to understand the importance of keeping themselves and others safe online. These resources are constantly revised to respond to new technologies and changing issues.
Children and staff at Galley Hill Primary School are able to access the Internet through the Hertfordshire Grid for Learning (HGfL). It provides a safe and secure Internet and email environment to support teaching and learning. School internet access is controlled through the LA’s web filtering service (RM SafetyNet). All Internet activity is monitored and recorded.
