Parent / Carers' Guides for Online Safety

We are proud to be a National Online Safety certified school and we know that children love being online.  The internet is a fun, exciting, sociable and engaging place.  However, the internet also has its dangers.  Young people seem to be rich in knowledge surrounding technology and it can be difficult to keep track as our children explore the online world.

Whatever they are doing, our parent guides (updated regularly)  will help you keep your children safe as they navigate the online world.  Share these guides with your children.  Start an online safety conversation today.

Parent / Carer Guide to Age-inappropriate Content

When our children are online, they are at risk of coming across inappropriate content in lots of areas of the internet.  This could range from any aspect of being online from a video to a pop-up advert.  The term 'inappropriate' is not the same for every one - what is appropriate for a Key Stage 2 audience will most likely be hugely inappropriate content for children in Key Stage 1.  However, as our children are using using the internet and becoming digitally literate at an early age, it is likely they will come across some content which is scary, upsetting or unsettling.  Our guide is a great way to start the conversation around what children should do if they come across such age-inappropriate content.  Why not take a look? 

Openview Education Information

SPSM have previously worked with Openview Education on different projects such as Anti-Bullying Week and Online Safety Week.  They have been kind enough to share their new videos with us.  These videos will help to begin discussions between you and your child around staying safe online, anti-bullying and wellbeing.

How to Clean Devices - Advice and Tips

We are all aware (especially given the current circumstances) how important it is to be aware of cleanliness and personal hygiene.  We have much advice about hand washing but it is also important that we think carefully about how we clean and disinfect surfaces and objects.  Not many people are aware that this is especially important with our electronic devices.  Take a look at our guide to cleaning devices (and some 'dos' and 'don'ts).
