Internet Safety
Internet Safety at School
Our Online Safety Policy and Curriculum have been designed to meet the diverse needs of our children, to ensure learning is progressive and is visited regularly by the children for the most impact. We used the Teach Computing by the National Centre of Computer Excellence for our computing units. The units regularly cover e-safety objectives, making the learning relevant and relatable.
See our policies page for our Online Safety Policy
At Stanley Common, we work hard to ensure children understand the importance of Internet Safety. Every year we take part in ‘Safer Internet Day’. E-Safety is taught as part of the Computing and PSHE Curriculum as part of the topic cycles. More information about our curriculum can be found on our curriculum page.

Learning how to act safely when using the internet is an incredibly important part of safeguarding our children.
The resources include Parents & Carers courses, online video resources and weekly guides covering a huge range of topics, including:
