The internet is such an integral part of children's lives these days. It opens up so many educational and social opportunities, giving them access to, quite literally, a world of information and experiences. 

Whether on a computer at school, a laptop at home, a games console or mobile or smart phone, children and young people are increasingly accessing the internet whenever they can and wherever they are. Our young people are 'DIGITAL NATIVES'  living in a world filled largely by 'DIGITAL IMMIGRANTS' (adults!).

As you would protect your child in the real world, you will want to make sure that they are safe whatever they are doing. Like learning to cross the road, online safety skills are skills for life. If your child understands the risks and can make sensible and informed choices online, they can get the most from the internet and stay safe whilst doing so

Online Safety is taught to all our pupils in a variety of purposeful and targeted ways.  They are taught about online safety through both the PHSE and Computing curriculums.  We also invite specialists to work with our pupils throughout the year.  We feel that having guests in to work with pupils, staff and parents has a bigger impact.  At Oaksey School, we are always prepared to adapt our teaching to meet the needs and demands of our pupils.  Online safety is high priority.
