Internet Safety

Ipad website

Our pupils are fortunate to have the use of their own 1:1 device at Rickley Park. Whilst these devices act as a superb learning tool, we are keenly aware of ensuring the devices are used safely and appropriately throughout school which is why we hold a parent meeting before issuing any new devices, an agreement is signed and an iPad Charter is agreed in every classroom. We also share internet safety tips via our termly newsletter using posters from The National College.

#WakeUpWednesday - Free resources for trusted adults

We expect all pupils to be safe and responsible when using IT so that they can have full benefit from the many opportunities the technology offers. Your child will receive advice and have lessons about how to keep themselves safe, but we will also expect a commitment from all pupils to show personal responsibility for their online behaviour.

Your child will be able to use the internet and apps via their 1:1 device at school to access resources they need for learning and to communicate with others within the classroom community. When using communication tools they will be acting as an ambassador for Rickley Park Primary School and it is important that high standards are maintained. We encourage all pupils to tell their class teacher or another responsible adult immediately if they accidentally come across offensive material on the Internet. We closely monitor the use of 1:1 devices via Lightspeed (a digital monitoring and filtering system to protect students in educational settings from online harm) and will take appropriate action if alerted to a concern.
