Keeping everyone safe online.

The internet and the online world can be an amazing resource and tool for communication, information and enjoyment. However, it also has inherent risks that can be of huge concern. At Spring Bank children are regularly taught about how to stay safe and behave online and we want to ensure that parents have that same opportunity.

The information on this page will help you ensure that you and your child are safe when using the world wide web. We teach all classes how to be safe on the internet in school. Please see below additional guidance and advice. If you would like to know more about how we keep our pupils safe in school please refer to http://parentinfo.org/
