E-Safety

Keeping Children Safe Online

At Orion Scotts Park, we recognise that the online world offers incredible opportunities for learning, creativity and connection. However, it also brings risks that we must help our children navigate safely. E-safety is a vital part of our safeguarding commitment, and we work hard to equip our pupils with the knowledge, skills and confidence they need to stay safe online.

Our Approach to E-Safety

E-safety is embedded throughout our curriculum, and children receive age-appropriate teaching about how to use technology responsibly, protect their personal information, recognise online risks, and seek help if they encounter something that worries them. From understanding privacy settings to identifying trusted adults, we ensure our children are prepared for the digital world they are growing up in.

We also teach children about the importance of being kind and respectful online, just as they are in the classroom and playground. Cyberbullying, inappropriate content, and online manipulation are real concerns, and we take a proactive approach to educating our pupils about these issues.

Partnership with Knowsley E-Safety

We are proud to work in partnership with Knowsley, who provide expert guidance and resources to support families in keeping children safe online. Each month, we share Knowsley's parent e-safety newsletters, which include timely advice, tips and information about current online trends, apps, games and risks that parents should be aware of.

Knowsley also offer free e-safety training for parents, giving you the tools and knowledge to have confident conversations with your children about their online activity and to set appropriate boundaries at home. We strongly encourage all parents to engage with these resources and take advantage of the training opportunities available.

How You Can Help at Home

  • Talk regularly with your child about what they are doing online and who they are talking to.
  • Set clear rules about screen time, appropriate content and online behaviour.
  • Use parental controls on devices, apps and games to keep your child safe.
  • Stay informed about the apps, games and platforms your child is using.
  • Be approachable – make sure your child knows they can come to you if something online worries or upsets them.
