Online Safety

Here at Upton Primary School we take online safety very seriously. As part of our role in safeguarding our pupils online, we recognise the importance of supporting parents and careers understanding, of the ever changing online platforms their children may be accessing outside of school. It is very important that we all work together to make sure our children feel safe and secure when using technology. If you child is using the internet, please try and be aware which websites they are visiting, and use parental control settings where possible. On this page we aim to provide practical hints and tips, and links that may help you.
