E-Safety

At St. George’s E-Safety is an important part of keeping children safe. As a result, we have extensive security measures in place at school  which are monitored both internally and externally, to help safeguard pupils from potential dangers or unsuitable material. Any E-Safety incidents are recorded and managed effectively. E-Safety is taught to all pupils regularly explaining and demonstrating how to stay safe and behave appropriately online. This is reinforced during E-safety week that we take part in every year and our E-safety rules.

We can only be successful in keeping children safe online if we work with parents to ensure the E-Safety message is consistent. It is important that parents speak to their children about how they can keep safe and behave appropriately online.
