Online Safety

As a community, we need to recognise and guard against bullying, intimidation, discrimination and exploitation of vulnerable users online.

Online safety is an important part of keeping children safe at St Luke’s. We have extensive security measures and safe working practices in place in school, which are monitored both internally and externally, to help safeguard pupils from potential dangers or unsuitable material.

Each half term, children are taught how to stay safe and behave appropriately online. As a school, online safety incidents are dealt with in accordance with our Internet Safety Policy.

One of our Computing leaders, Mr Livesey, is available to offer advice at parents’ evenings.

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact the school. We may be able to help or direct you to get advice about keeping you and your children safe whilst online.
