The internet is essential in 21st century life for education, business and social interaction. As children grow up their  access to various  types of technology generally increases and it stands to reason that their exploration and curiosity increases too.

We are committed to ensuring that students are safe when using the internet at School. Nonetheless, much of a child’s internet usage occurs outside of school, and we urge parents/carers to be interested, supportive and vigilant to their children’s usage. This page has been designed to give you information that will support you in this role.

If you have any concerns, or need advice, please don't hesitate to contact the school

How do I report concerns?

If you are concerned that your child is in immediate danger, call 999. If it is a less immediate concern, you should contact your local police station.

If you’re worried that your child is being groomed online or sexually exploited you should also report your concerns to the Child Exploitation & Online Protection Centre (CEOP). You can report your concern through their website: www.ceop.police.uk/safety-centre

If you are concerned that your child is being bullied at school, you should contact their tutor or the Designated Safeguarding Lead (Ust Fouzia).  There are also a range of useful websites listed below:
