There are so many exciting ways that our children can use digital technologies and we welcome and encourage these both at home and at school. It is very important to us that we work in partnership with you to teach our children how to use these technologies safely and responsibly.
It is important that digital technologies are introduced into the lives of children in a managed and careful way. They can open up our children to harms, challenges and difficulties in their lives if thought is not given to the way in which children are permitted to access and use digital technologies and social media. Further down on this page is advice and guidelines related to age restrictions for games and social media apps - in a nutshell, it is the view of our schools, that NONE of our children should have unsupervised or independent access to any such media.
Links below show you how you can set parental controls on a range of different devices at home (including on games consoles, mobile phones and online platforms like Youtube): https://www.internetmatters.org/parental-controls/interactive-guide/
