E-safety Staying Safe online and offline
The introduction of the new Computing curriculum aims to equip pupils with the knowledge, understanding and skills to use information and communication technology creatively and purposefully. A key aspect of this lies in being digitally literate. Online technologies play a huge role and so providing a broad and balanced e-safety education at each key stage is vital to ensuring that pupils can navigate the online world safely and positively. Details of the discreet digital literacy lessons which your children will be taught during Computing lessons at Corbridge Middle School are provided on this page.
E-safety is well-embedded as part of our school practice and as well as the discreet units taught below, there are many other opportunities where children and staff focus and reinforce staying safe online across the complete Computing curriculum, across other curriculum areas, during school assemblies and through enrichment activities. You can also view our school e-safety policy here ...
We also provide e-safety awareness advice and training for staff, parents/carers and other stakeholders. Events are advertised via the school newsletter and on our school calendar. Look out for our e-safety stand at our next Parents Evening; an opportunity to share e-safety information and guides on how to help keep your children safe online. Please contact the School Office or Mr Johnston if you are interested in attending an event or would like advice or further information.

We welcomed David Burn from BeSafe into school this term. He came to deliver a workshop which helps to educate young people about their online and offline personal safety and making the right choices when they are out in the community with their friends. Our pupils were very engaged in what David had to say and show. Thank you to David for visiting Corbridge Middle School.

This term we distributed a ‘Build your Legend’ kit as our school took part in Google’s ‘Be Internet Legends’ and learnt how to be safe and confident explorers of the online world. It was a fun family challenge and we had lots of photograph's sent in showing the final result - your very own 'Legend' model. We hoped you enjoyed the activity and picked up some really important messages about staying safe online.
