E-Safety

With the rise of apps, games, tablets, smart phones and social networking sites, parents often ask us for advice about setting boundaries in their child’s digital world.
We are committed to safeguarding our pupils and supporting parents so that they can help their children to make the most of digital technology and deal with the challenges that can arise. The following link to the NSPCC website contains valuable information to support all topics around online safety including age appropriateness and use of devices.
Safer Internet Day
https://saferinternet.org.uk/safer-internet-day/safer-internet-day-2025
This global event takes place every year. We always use the day as another opportunity to remind our children how to be safe online and how to be part of a caring online community. We run activities in class, online-safety assemblies and provide information to parents and the wider community about staying safe online.
We take e-safety extremely seriously here at Hatch Ride School and we have filters in place to protect your children whilst they use the computers and tablets in school. To help parents keep their children safe at home whilst they are on computers we have produced a leaflet and a booklet of helpful tips and advice (see below).
For further parental advice on ensuring your children stay safe whilst online visit CEOP’s Thinkuknow website or read the Parenting in a Digital World booklet below.
