Technology is a key aspect of learning at Overton CE Primary, from the use of kindles and tablets to laptops and video recording studio kits. We take every step to ensure the children understand their responsibilities in their use of technology and are aware of the potential dangers and the steps they should take to keep themselves safe online.
We have hosted online safety days led by a specialist ICT consultant culminating in a presentation to parents to support them with their roles and responsibilities in helping protect their children online. We also distribute issues of Digital Parenting which gives practical help, guidance and links to further advice. We work with parents to highlight issues relating to their children’s use of mobile phones, tablets and age appropriateness console games.
