Here at Lee Mount, the children use the internet on a regular basis as an integral part of their learning. In school, we have regular e-safety lessons and activities to remind children of the importance of keeping themselves safe online. To help us remember the main principles of staying safe online, we use the 'SMART' rules.

In school we use the 'Thinkuknow' website, which provides activities for children to help them understand the importance of staying safe online.  Use the links below to learn about e-safety with your child at home.

The online world is rapidly developing and many of our children now have access to devices which enable them to connect to the internet, take images or video and communicate with others. While it is important not to obstruct them from developing skills from using these devices, it is essential that parents support their children in navigating the online world. Some of the issues related to primary pupils using the internet are:

  • Accessing inappropriate content on the internet
  • Using 'mature' social networking sites, such as Facebook, and connecting with individuals they don't know
  • Being cyberbullied by others on the internet
  • Using technology appropriately, e.g. webcams and cameras on mobile devices
  • Sharing personal information with others they don't know on the internet.
  • Playing video games with adult rating, e.g. Call of Duty.
  • The Department of Education have produced this useful document for parents.
