At Padnell Junior School, we understand how important it is to allow your child the independence to use technology, whilst at the same time doing so in a safe way. Every year, in line with the National Curriculum, we teach E-safety lessons based around:

• how to use technology safely, respectfully and responsibly,
• how to recognise acceptable and unacceptable behaviour,
• how to identify and report concerns about online material.

Please explore the following links that you could use with your child to help teach the importance of staying safe online:
