Web Safety



When children are using this blog it is advised that a parent / guardian would supervise pupils. It is advised to keep the computer or laptop in a family room while children are using the web.
The internet is an invaluable resource for your child's education but only when used appropriately.

Note: No child will ever be named alongside a photograph on this blog.


Remember a safe surfer is a happy surfer!
