Online Safety for Parents / Carers
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 - Managing Stress
Children spend a lot of time online these days. This could be because they are completing their homework, researching, playing games or socialising. New research has shown that children are experiencing more times of stress and some research suggests that this is linked to the amount of time and the content of what they see online. Stress such as this can take a toll on our mental and physical well-being. Our guide this week gives tips on how to manage stressful times (in real-life and online), how to manage time (on and off-line) and prioritise well-being.

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).
