Langshott Primary School and Parents - working together to keep children safe online

Internet safety is always a high priority at Langshott Primary School. Lessons are taught in every year group explaining and demonstrating how to stay safe when using the internet and working with technology.

Every term, we hold a 'Children and Technology' meeting to share information with families about how to stay safe online.  Below there are some guides and links on how you can support your children at home.

Aims 

• To form a shared understanding of how to keep children safe online
• To share information about technology and how it used
• To minimise online incidents
• To help parents to make an informed decision about how to use technology outside of school
