Our curriculum delivers a robust programme of e-safety education. Through dedicated topics on the Computing and Computer Science curriculum, cross-curricular opportunities in other subjects and discrete lessons and talks that make up part of the pastoral curriculum

To support families, our staff who are trained by the Child Exploitation and Online Protection Command – CEOP, run an annual parent and child workshop which aims to give practical advice and support to families negotiating the digital landscape. Our workshops are supplemented by a biannual e-safety event which involves students during the school day, staff training after school and a parental workshop in the evening. This event is run by the renowned EST – E-Safety Trainers, otherwise known as the “Two Johns”.

More excellent support and advice can be sought from the “Two John’s" website.
