Online safety – Pitmaston Primary School

At Pitmaston, we recognise that advances in technology have become an integral part of everyday life. It is our intention to equip children with the strategies they need to become resilient to online challenges they might face, educating pupils to deal with situations that may occur within a safe supporting environment. Our online safety curriculum is designed to teach children how to be good digital citizens, recognising appropriate and inappropriate actions and what they need to do if they feel they or a friend is at risk if harm. Through teaching Online Safety, we aim to equip the children with the skills and understanding needed to become responsible, competent, confident and creative users of information and communication technology.

“We are the Pitmaston Cyber Buddies and we represent every class from Year 2 to Year 6. We have looked at many extra online safety activities and how online safety issues can be reported. We are able to talk to the children in our classes about online safety and support them in asking for help if they are worried. We have looked at what happens when you click the CEOP link button found on each page of the website and on the computers at school.”
