E-Safety

Today’s pupils are growing up in an increasingly complex world, living their lives seamlessly on and offline. This presents many positive and exciting opportunities, but also challenges and risks.

At Middlewich Primary School, we recognise that technology plays an important role in the everyday lives of children and adults.  Consequently, we teach our pupils the knowledge needed to make the best use of the internet and technology in a safe, considered and respectful way.

We understand the responsibility and importance of focussing on the underpinning knowledge and behaviours that can help pupils to navigate the online world safely and confidently regardless of the device, platform or app.

We understand that E-safety can be daunting so to help you to keep up to date with the latest information we have collated some useful websites to help you to keep your children safe online and offer advice that you may need.
