E-Safety
Increasingly pupils live and operate in a digital world. This world has steadily integrated with the classroom and, where activities involving the internet and communications technologies might have been a rarity a few years ago, they are now commonplace. Coupled with this pupils have access to these technologies outside of school and potentially through a range of locations, home, libraries, free wi-fi sites and also through a variety of technologies ranging from mobile phones to portable games machines. This regular use of technology within teaching and learning and outside of school, places risks on pupils, staff, governors, parents and the community. The risks for users are wide ranging - not just dangers of viewing inappropriate content but dangers from cyberbullying and contact from others. You can also view our e-safety curriculum here...
The use of technology also brings many learning benefits and so risks need to be balance up with the opportunities technology offers and moderated by the careful and rigorous application of e-safety measures by schools. All users be they children or adults need a clear understanding of what the risks and dangers are and how these can be safely managed.
Corbridge Middle School has a clear and effective set of procedures for promoting e-safety and raising awareness.
