Online Safety

Our aim at St Laurence's Primary School is to teach children to become responsible and safe users of technology. We understand the importance of being digitally literate in today's society and aim to give children as many rich and purposeful opportunities to use and develop their ICT skills across the curriculum.

Our Online Safety Policy highlights how we aim to teach and keep children safe when online and how we will equip them with the skills needed to use ICT safely. The policy should be read in conjunction with other related school policies and documentation e.g. St Laurence’s Behaviour Policy.
