The internet is an invaluable tool for all members of the school community.

At Amberley Parochial School we appreciate the benefits it can bring, however, we also take all aspects of children’s safety very seriously, including online safety. We believe that children should be equipped with the knowledge necessary to keep themselves safe online in an increasingly technologically led society and that they should have the confidence to discuss their online activity and ask for help when it is needed. The basis of our internet/ e-safety curriculum comes from the 'Education for a Connected World', a framework to equip children and young people for digital life, written by the UK Council for Internet Safety and published by the DfE. We use a range of resources, many of which come from Project Evolve and National Centre for Computing Excellence.  

Our Online Safety Policy helps us to get the best out of the internet whilst protecting all members of our school from potential harm. We also ensure staff and children have up-to-date training. 

​

As technology changes so quickly, there is always a danger that we, as adults, are left behind. In order to keep ourselves up to date, we are supported by an IT service, who also maintain our equipment and systems.
