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.

Rocket League

Rocket League is a multiplayer football game, developed in 2015, it is still incredibly popular.  Essentially a football game, Rocket League is different in the fact that players drive rocket-powered cars during the game instead of running with the ball.  Available on different platforms such as Windows PC, Nintendo Switch and X-Box, this game has definitely taken the world by storm!  In our new guide you will find information and tips on potential risks, scams, increased screen time and inappropriate online interactions.

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.
