Online Safety

At St Werburgh's Primary, we are committed to ensuring that all our children are aware of how to behave responsibly online. We teach online safety through our computing curriculum and also regularly throughout the year during PSHE lessons and assemblies.

We know that as a parent it can be hard to know how to talk to your children about online safety. Please click the link for some useful tips from the NSPCC.
