Educating children on how to stay safe online is a fundamental part of what we do here at Lee Brigg.
We firmly believe that technology is a fantastic tool, when used correctly. Online Safety is embedded not just in our Computing Curriculum, but across a wide range of subjects, assemblies and day-to-day life at school. We also try work to support parents as much as we possibly can in keeping their children safe. We hold an online safety workshop for parents each year and there’s a wealth of information below. More information can be found in our Online Safety Policy
