The Internet is a wonderful tool to use but there are also risks if not used appropriately. At Kewstoke Primary School we learn about the importance of Online Safety. This is taught through discussion, drama, stories and other activities. Children are taught what to do if they experience something they don’t like online and where to seek advice both at home and in school.  

From September 2023, staff will be using a document called Education for a Connected World to support them with their Online Safety sessions. The aim is to have a discrete session at the start of each term as well as drip feeding it into other sessions where applicable.
