Acceptable Use Policies
Responsible Use of ICT and the Internet
Each year, at the start of term, the children are reminded about how to use the school systems safely and respectfully. The class teacher helps them to read through the acceptable use policy and explains what each part means and the children then sign to say they agree to the rules.
A copy is shared on class Dojo, however If you haven't received this, please read the E-Safety Policy and discuss the E-Safety rules below with your child. Thank you.
