If there is anything that you believe you need to report that doesn't make you feel safe online. You can click the icon link below which will take you straight to the correct page.
Below you will find a copy of our rules to keep everyone safe online. You should be familiar with this, it is up in every classroom and you should have discussed it with you class. These rules are the rules you agree to before you use any of our computer equipment.
Take a look at the BBC website - Own It - https://www.bbc.com/ownit
Please please remember that whatever you post/say online will count towards your digital footprint - you cannot get rid of it. Therefore, saying mean things (this include inappropriate language) in a WhatsApp group or any other social media site can have huge consequences - DON'T DO IT!
As we move closer to Christmas and rules are changing, I know that many of you are reading information on the internet, but remember, not everything you read is true! I'd like you to think about the following next time you read something online:
Use the SHARE checklist to make sure you’re not contributing to the spread of harmful content:
-
Source - make sure information comes from a trusted source
-
Headline - always read beyond the headline
-
Analyse - check the facts
-
Retouched - does the image or video look as though it has been doctored?
-
Error - look out for bad grammar and spelling
Remember, if you have any concerns, speak to a trusted adult. Stay safe, stay connected!

Staying safe on your mobile
- Don’t reply to any nasty messages you receive – tell an adult about them instead
- Don’t reply to a text from someone you don’t know
- Keep the messages you have been sent so you can show them to a trusted adult and make a note of the time and date of the
- messages or calls you receive
- Don’t answer calls from withheld numbers or numbers you don’t recognise, let it go to voicemail
- Don’t give your mobile number to someone you don’t know
- Don’t send pictures to someone you don’t know and be very careful about sending pictures to anyone on your phone. Once you send them - they can NEVER be deleted.
What to do if you are being bullied online
- Tell an adult you trust if you are being cyberbullied
- Don’t respond or retaliate to bullying messages – it could make things worse
- Block users who send you nasty messages
- Save abusive emails or messages (or texts) you receive and show an adult
- Don’t pass on any cyberbullying videos or messages – this is cyberbullying
- You can talk to someone at ChildLine or get online safety advice at www.childline.org.uk/talk/Pages/Talk
