Click here for our e-safety Policy.

An important thread of E-Safety runs through all learning linked with technology and being online. Pupils at Rowanfield, use the internet on a regular basis as part of the learning, Technology enhances learning, and we want to ensure pupils get the most from it by encouraging behaviour online which falls in line with our school value of ‘Duty’.

In school, we use a filtering system to prevent pupils accessing inappropriate sites. We also have regular E-Safety assemblies, lessons in PSHCE and lesson starters to remind all pupils of the importance of keeping themselves safe online. The SuperCAT (Check, Ask, Tell) approach used across all GLA schools is well embedded at Rowanfield - pupils are taught what actions they can take to keep themselves safe online.

What can you do to support E-safety at home?

Parents and carers play a key role in supporting children to learn about how to stay safe online, and they are one of the first people children turn to if things go wrong. We know it can be difficult to stay on top of the wide range of sites and devices that young people use, so we hope that the following advice helps. Click below for more information:

Safer Internet Day is run by the INSAFE network and is celebrated every year across the world.

This day is designed to help pupils and parents become more aware of the safety messages that your children receive in school in order to reinforce them in your home environment.

Last  year’s theme was ‘Let’s create a better internet together.’ To celebrate the many positives of the internet, and to raise awareness of the issues that children and young people face online today, there were lots of different activities throughout the day in each class.
