Online Safety

In the 21st century, the internet plays a key part in our daily lives and at Osidge the online world plays a vital part in the children’s learning.

Online Safety encompasses learning how to stay safe using the internet and communicating safely using mobile phones and other devices. We want to educate our children by making them aware about the benefits and risks of using technology safely.

Every half term in school the children complete a number of tasks to remind them how to stay safe online.

Here is a short video on 5 top tips to stay safe when online.
