    SMART Rules

    As modern day technology is being used more frequently by children both at home and at school, we recognise the importance of educating children from a young age about the dangers of the Internet in the hope that they will remain safe on the Internet whilst they benefit from its many uses.

    We take E-Safety very seriously.  We constantly deliver E-Safety based assemblies and lessons to our children to ensure that the rules are always at the forefront of their minds. 

    The E-Safety Rules that we promote are known as the SMART Rules.  Please help us to ensure that your child knows the following rules:

    S is for safe- Never give your personal information to people that you do not know.

    M is for meet- Never arrange to meet with strangers.

    A is for Accepting- Never accept emails or messages from people that you do not know as they might contain a virus.

    R is for reliable- Not everything that you read on the internet is true.

    T is for tell- If anything upsets you on the internet always tell a trusted adult.
