ThorntonOnline Safety
We prioritise teaching students the importance of staying safe online in an ever- connected world. Through engaging lessons and age-appropriate guidance, we help children understand how to use the internet responsibly, protect their personal information and recognise potential risks. Our online safety curriculum empowers our pupils to navigate the digital world with confidence, whilst we work with parents and carers to promote safe practices at home. In doing so, we strive to create a safe and positive online experience for every child.
Below are a list of resources and websites which both children and parents can access regarding online safety.
CEOP
A well-known website which investigates and offers help to children who might be in danger of abuse, bullying, or who are otherwise targeted inappropriately is C.E.O.P. – The Child Exploitation and Online Protection centre run by the UK police’s National Crime Agency.
