At Leamington CP School we are dedicated to children’s safety in all aspects of school life. As you know, we have a range of fantastic ICT resources in school and we use the Internet regularly to enhance the children’s learning. However, this can come with risks if the children are not aware of E-Safety and how to keep safe whilst using ICT. We begin the school year with an initial E-Safety lesson with the children to introduce and recap the concept. We also have a set of E-Safety rules that the children know and sign a contract to confirm that they will act accordingly. E-Safety is crucial to children’s education and we ensure all children are aware of how to keep safe whilst online.

We are a 360 safe school! 

We have included some links below for parents/carers and our children to find out more about E-Safety:

Resources to support Home Learning

During the Covid-19 Pandemic, children are spending a lot more time at home and on the internet. We need to ensure that their safety is paramount. Please look at the following resources to support children’s use of online learning.
