Online Safety
The Vision At Danemill Primary School
To create e-confident learners:
- Who are able to find, access and process information.
- Who have the skills to choose and use technology efficiently and adapt their skills to meet the challenge of new technologies.
- Who can use a range of technologies to communicate effectively and appropriately.
Children at Danemill Primary School use the Internet on a regular basis as an integral part of their learning. In school, we have regular eSafety activities to remind children of the importance of keeping themselves safe online.
In our changing world, children are ever more exposed to a variety of different media and information. Increasing provision of the Internet both in and out of school brings with it the need to ensure our learners are safe!
