E-Safety

Our children are growing up in a world where online technology is part of everyday life. It gives them exciting facilities to learn, play, communicate and express themselves. As a parent you might worry about the risks your child can face online - such as bullying, contact from strangers or the possibility of them seeing inappropriate content. 

At St Bede’s we are committed to helping our pupils become Digital Citizens who can access all the creative opportunities new technologies offer, in a responsible, safe and kindly way. E-safety is taught in Computing lessons in all 3 terms of the year including during the transition phase at the end of each year. The children also participate in Safer Internet Day in February each year.
