E-Safety

At Newall Green Primary School, we recognise the importance of the Internet in children's lives. It allows them to access infomation, learn more about the world around them and communicate with their friends and children across the world. Unfortunately though, there are times when the Internet can be a dangerous place for children. We feel that it is vital that we educate children about these potential dangers and teach them how to use the Internet safely.

The Internet opens up the world to children and young people. It allows for many wonderful educational and learning opportunities. In addition to useful education tools on the Internet, a great deal of content also exists that is not appropriate for children. We hope that this information will support you in keeping your children safe in this digital world.

Should you have any questions or concerns about ESafety, please do not hesitate to speak to a member of school staff.
