Online Safety & Safeguarding
At Ashmole Primary School, we take online safety very seriously and encourage all pupils to use ICT and the internet in a safe and responsible manner.
In school, all filters and restrictions are set to the necessary level and pupils are closely monitored at all times while accessing ICT. Online safety is covered as appropriate as part of our curriculum.
There are also several good websites that provide additional information to support you in this. These include:
