Parson Cross CE Primary School
Online Safety
At Parson Cross CE Primary School, we promote the use of technology and understand its role in education, business, and social interaction. There are many advantages to using technology. However, we also recognise that the digital world presents numerous online risks.
How we teach online safety
We use the Sheffield Online Safety Scheme, which forms part of our PSHE curriculum in school. These sessions are delivered throughout the year and cover various online safety topics.
Supporting families
The online world is posing an ever-increasing risk to children, and schools, parents and carers must work together to take an active role in teaching children about online dangers. Learning how to interact safely when using the internet is crucial to safeguard our children.
