Online Safety
At Alma Park, we teach all children the importance of keeping safe online through our PHSCE and Computing curriculums. In different year groups, we cover a wide variety of areas including the importance of a positive digital footprint and how not everything we see online can be trusted. However, it is at home where a child is mainly online, so below are a range of websites and information sheets to help at home. The files at the bottom of the page are updated regularly, so check Parentmail or the weekly newsletter for updates.
