Online Safety
We recognise that being online is an important part of life for our learners, not just as part of education, but for social interaction, leisure and creative expression.
Learners are not allowed to use their mobile phones in school; they are kept in our school office during the day.
Our school iPads and Laptops use a 'Smoothwall' filtering system. Our Digital Ambassadors help to educate their peers on what to do if they see something that makes them feel uncomfortable.
All learners are given regular e-safety training in discrete PSHE lessons, as part of their Computing Curriculum and in assemblies. Key areas covered:
- Online reputations
- Cyberbullying
- Access to inappropriate materials
- Sharing images
- Sharing personal information

Parents and e-safety
The Olympus Trust has a dedicated online safety hub for parents and carers with excellent advice on setting parental controls, social media, screen time, gaming, bullying and more.
We strongly advice that parents download and use the app 'Qustodio' which allows parents and carers to monitor their child's online activity. Information about Qustodio can be found on our online safety hub.
