Online Safety is not just about keeping safe on the internet but also keeping safe on all electronic devices such as mobile phones, tablets, game consoles, television, etc. Online Safety means knowing about potential threats when you are online; knowing what you can and cannot (legally) do when you are online; and knowing how to protect yourself from some of the risks that are involved in using the internet.

At Thorndon Primary School we take online safety very seriously. We enjoy using the internet, but we ensure that pupils are kept safe online. Online safety is a subject regularly talked about in school and is a topic covered in both our Computing and PSHE curriculums. 

The CEOP, Report Abuse button sits on the bottom of every webpage, so that pupils know where to find it, should they ever need to use it.

Mr Daryl Jones is the named person responsible for Online Safety. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask.
