Online Safety – Supporting Parents
At Greenleys First School, Where Children Come First, we understand the growing role of technology in our pupils’ lives. We’re committed to helping parents stay informed about online safety so they can guide their children to become safe and responsible digital citizens.
Cyberbullying
Cyberbullying involves using digital platforms to upset or humiliate others. It’s important to talk to children about the impact and seriousness of online behaviour.
Parent/carers may find the UK safer Internet Centre or the NSPCC Cyberbullying a useful online resources.
App & Game Safety
Children may access apps or games that aren’t age-appropriate. Platforms like Internet Matters and Common Sense Media offer guidance on safe, age-suitable content like YouTube Kids and BBC CBeebies Storytime.
Social Media
Most social media platforms have age restrictions. The NSPCC Social Media Guide helps parents understand risks and set up parental controls across devices and apps.

How We Support Online Safety in School
We use secure filters and firewalls to protect pupils online. E-safety is taught as part of our computing curriculum and reinforced across subjects, just like other safety topics such as road safety or medicine awareness.
