At Seaford Head the students have the right to enjoy their childhood online, to access safe online spaces, and to benefit from all the opportunities that a connected world can bring to them, appropriate to their age and key stage.
In today’s society the online world grows exponentially, it is vital that our students learn to balance the benefits offered by technology with a critical awareness of their own and other’s online behaviour. They will need to develop strategies for staying safe and making a positive contribution online. We deliver aspects of online safety through our Digital Learning lessons, Computer Science lessons and through our PSHE curriculum.
If you have concerns regarding your child’s online safety, then please email safeguarding@seafordhead.org.
There are a number of useful websites to support you and your child. If you would like to explore more information about how you can support your child to keep safe online, please find below two website recommendations:
