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 - Likee

Likee is a new app similar to TikTok, it facilitates the making and editing of videos and has over 200 million users all over the world.  Users can create different types of videos (usually music videos), edit and add special effects and then upload so that their content can be seen globally and over a variety of social media sites.  The app has an age limit of 16+ due to the sometimes explicit nature of some videos and as a result, there are risks for our young people such as online bullying, grooming or experiencing inappropriate content.  Take a look at our guide which covers these topics and how trusted adults can support young people when they are online.

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).
