Our latest Online Safety Newsletter has been sent to parents and carers by email during the week and it will be made available on our school website. July’s edition includes helpful guidance on:

• WhatsApp – age guidance, group chats, privacy settings and how to support children to use the app safely.
• Livestreaming – understanding the risks and how to help children enjoy online content safely.
• Instagram – new parental supervision tools that can help families monitor their child’s online experience.
• Screen time over the summer holidays – practical advice on achieving a healthy balance.
• Moving to secondary school – useful online safety resources for families of children starting Year 7.
• Netflix Playground – information about the new child-friendly gaming hub for younger children.
• The Government’s announcement on proposed new online safety measures for under-16s.

We encourage all parents and carers to take a few minutes to read the newsletter. Working together helps ensure our children stay safe, confident and responsible when using technology.
