Online Safety

Our children regularly use the internet as part of their learning. In school, we have regular eSafety activities to remind children of the importance of keeping themselves safe online.

A monthly newsletter is sent out to parents and carers via the Jotter App and can also be seen on the Newsletter page

For more information about Online Safety at St. Francis de Sales Catholic Infant and Nursery School, please contact Mrs Stokes.

The Education for a Connected World framework describes the Digital knowledge and skills that children and young people should have the opportunity to develop at different ages and stages of their lives. It highlights what a child should know in terms of current online technology, its influence on behaviour and development, and what skills they need to be able to navigate it.

The document supports one of the key aims of the government’s Internet Safety Strategy of supporting children to stay safe and make a positive contribution online, as well enabling teachers to develop effective strategies for understanding and handling online risks.

Digital 5 a day

The digital 5 a day provides a simple framework that reflects the concerns of parents/ carers as well as children’s behaviours and needs. It can also act as a base for family agreements about internet and digital device use throughout both the holidays and term time. It is also a useful framework to help children get the most from their time online and balance digital activity with overall wellbeing.

Based on the NHS’s evidence-based ‘‘five steps to better mental wellbeing’, the digital 5 a day campaign gives children and parents easy to follow, practical steps to achieve a healthy and balanced digital diet.
