E-Safety Week

We organise an Online Safety Week annually which coincides with Safer Internet Day (usually the second week in February).

During the week, all children learn about how to use technology responsibly and stay safe online. In KS2, children learn how to keep themselves safe from sexual abuse and exploitation by developing skills in identifying and avoiding risk, learning how best to protect themselves and their friends and knowing how to get support and report abuse if they do encounter difficulties. All topics have been clearly mapped out to ensure that sensitive topics are taught in a sensitive and age appropriate way with clear progression.

As part of our work to ensure that we all stay safe online at MLPS, the 'Marsh Lane Digital Leaders'  organised a week of activities, centred around how to stay safe when online and knowing what to do if we don't feel safe..

All the children completed activities and produced different ways of informing us how we can stay safe.

We work closely with the NSPCC in school who deliver assemblies to KS1 and KS2. Children in Years 5 & 6 also take part in a workshop and parent sessions are organised annually.

Schools have an important role in teaching children to protect themselves from all kinds of abuse, including online abuse and our annual Online Safety Week is one part of our approach to keeping children safe online.
