Online Safety

In our ever changing world, it is important to recognise how Online Safety is becoming a priority for us all.  Whilst the Internet is a useful and informative tool, it also brings with it many issues around keeping safe.

In order to keep ourselves and our families safe, it is important to ensure we provide regular inputs and checks on what is happening online.

At HPRS, online safety is planned for and implemented to ensure all pupils are kept safe when working online. As part of the curriculum, we regularly recap and revisit Online Safety and remind pupils of the principles of online safety.

Below are a range of informative resources to help parents/carers keep their children safe online:
