E-Safety

Pupils are expected to follow the guidelines set out in the Acceptable Use Agreement.  Their teachers will show pupils how to use the school technology safely and responsibly.

• I will only use polite language when using school technology
• I must not write anything that might upset someone or give the school a bad name.
• I know that my teacher will regularly check what I have done on the school technology.
• I must not print/save any work that has not been seen by an adult first.
• I must not tell my username and passwords to anyone else but my parents and teacher.
• I must never use other people’s usernames and passwords or school technology left logged in by others.
• If I think someone has learned my password then I will tell my teacher.
• I must log off after I have finished with my school technology.
• I will report any websites or messages that make me feel uncomfortable to my teacher.
• I will not try to harm any equipment or the work of another person on the school technology.
• I must not use any software or storage device from home without asking an adult first. 

 

SMART RULES

SAFE: Keep safe by being careful not to give out personal information such as your name, email address, phone number, home address or school name to people online without your parents knowing.

MEETING: Meeting someone you have only been in touch with online can be dangerous.  Only do so with your parent’s or carer’s permission and even then only when they can be with you.

ACCEPTING: Accepting emails or opening files, pictures or texts from people you don’t know or trust can lead to problems – they may contain viruses or nasty messages.

RELIABLE: Someone on line may be lying about who they are and information you find on the internet may not be reliable.

TELL: Tell your parents, carer or trusted adult if someone or something makes you feel uncomfortable or worried.
