e-Safety
Keeping our students safe online
e-safety is of utmost importance at the academy. All students receive regular advice and input through SMSC, Computing and tutor time alongside events such as e-safety day.
All staff are regularly trained in managing and supporting both students and themselves with regards to e-safety.
As part of Safer Internet Week, the academy has produced an e-safety survey for parents. It can be found here. Please take a few moments to complete it. The results will give us a better understanding of any risks or knowledge gaps so that we can help and support you, by providing relevant information, advice and guidance.

The Report Remove Tool can be accessed through the Childline website. IWF analysts will then review the content and create a unique digital fingerprint known as a hash, before sharing it with tech companies to help prevent it from being uploaded and shared.
