Online safety

Online safety (or E-safety) is fundamental at Woodmansterne. Online safety lessons and discussions are part of the PSHE and Computing curriculum and also happen regularly through assemblies. Pupils are taught about 8 key areas:

Self-image and identity
Online relationships
Online reputations
Online bullying
Managing online information
Health well-being and lifestyle
Privacy and security
Copyright and ownership

To support parents we post information in 'Woody News' weekly and signpost parents to guides and websites to help support your child at home in the digital world. Below you can find the guides that have recently been featured in Woody News.

If you are worried about an online issue, please contact your child's teacher, or tutor, or a member of the senior leadership team who will be able to help you.
