E-Safety

Learning and Teaching Internet use is an essential element of 21st Century learning.  The school has a duty to provide quality internet access for their pupils.  The purpose of internet use in school and thorugh the VLE at home is to raise educational standards, to promote pupils‟ achievement, to support the professional work of staff and to enhance the school‟s management functions. Pupils use the internet widely outside school and need to learn how to use it and evaluate internet information and take care of their own safety and security.  Good planning and preparation is critical in ensuring a safe starting point for the development of web search skills and strategies.


Benefits of using the Internet in education include:

  • access to world-wide educational resources including museums and art galleries;
  • inclusion in the National Education Network which connects all UK schools;
  • educational and cultural exchanges between pupils world-wide;
  • vocational, social and leisure use in libraries, clubs and at home; 
  • access to experts in many fields for pupils and staff; 
  • professional development for staff through access to national developments, educational materials and effective curriculum practice;
