Keeping children safe and happy
As a school we expect that all members of the school community will continue to follow the Acceptable Use policy, the Social Media policy, the Positive Behaviour policy and Class Charters for Online Safety. At Northern we pride ourselves on the key values of respect, responsibility and friendship.
Staying safe online
Keeping children safe online has never been more important. As children spend time at home, perhaps with increased access to the internet it's vital that we keep them safe from online exploitation. Click here for guidance and activities to help children safe online.
To help you support your child to keep safe online there is a lot of advice on the 'Online Safety' page of the website within the Parents tab.
Furthermore, CEOP - Child Exploitation and Online Protection - have created a package to help you support children and families during COVID-19 school closures, online safety at home.
Each fortnight, CEOP will be releasing new home activity packs with simple 15 minute activities you can do with your child to support their online safety at a time when they will spending more time online at home.
There are separate packs for children of different ages.
