Online Safety
Click here for Online Safety Support and Information
'The introduction of the Computing Curriculum in England aims to equip pupils with the knowledge, understanding and skills to use information and communication technology creatively and purposefully. A key aspect of this lies in being digitally literate. Online technologies play a huge role and so providing a broad and balanced online safety education at each key stage is vital to ensuring that pupils can navigate the online world safely and positively.’ - Childnet.
Online Safety with Digital Sparks.
Our Computing Curriculum is Delivered by the Digital Sparks Scheme of Work. Online safety is a thread that runs throughout every part of Digital Sparks. Each step starts with a short online safety starter, helping children to regularly revisit and build their understanding. These Cyber Smart discussion starters are aligned with the Education for a Connected World framework, so they are up-to-date and age - appropriate. The Digital Citizenship strand is a dedicated online safety strand, giving children explicit opportunities to explore their responsibilities online. Each unit includes a Smart Sparks Guide so children can share the key online safety messages with their parents and carers.
