Want to talk about it?

On Monday 6th February 2023, we joined schools across the UK in celebrating Safer Internet Day. Safer Internet Day is a global campaign across 170 countries to promote the safe and responsible use of technology, which calls on everyone to join together in helping to create a better internet.

Using the internet safely and positively is a key message that we promote at Stoke Prior First School, and celebrating Safer Internet Day gives us the opportunity for us to re-emphasise the key safety messages we deliver throughout the year.

All week, the pupils have been participating in assemblies, class discussions and activities all centred around internet safety. You will find more information in this weeks newsletter together with an Online Safety questionnaire for parents to complete.

We would be delighted if you could continue the conversation at home with your child.

To support with this you may be interested in downloading the parent resources from the UK Safer Internet Centre at www.saferinternet.org.uk/sid-parents

Online safety is an incredibly important issue, which as a school, we’re committed to teaching our pupils about. If you have any concerns or questions about keeping your child safe online, please do get in contact with us.
