The virtual world has grown rapidly over the past few years and at Adlington Primary School we strive to ensure that our children fully benefit from new online innovations whilst keeping themselves safe and using them responsibly.
Throughout our curriculum and during computing lessons we teach children how to stay safe online. Each year we offer our parents the opportunity to attend an online safety workshop and provide updates via our school newsletter.
To support our children and families in being safe and responsible users of technology we have listed some websites that you may find useful. If you do have any further questions please do not hesitate to get in touch.
