Online Safety for Families

We know that the internet is an amazing tool for learning, creativity, and connection—but we also understand the importance of keeping children safe online. As technology continues to evolve, it’s essential that children learn how to navigate the digital world safely, responsibly, and confidently.

We are committed to teaching online safety as part of our curriculum, helping children develop the skills to make positive choices and stay safe in an ever-changing online landscape. However, online safety starts at home too, and we want to support families in creating a safe and balanced digital environment.

On this page, you’ll find trusted resources, guidance, and practical tips to help you set up parental controls, talk to your child about online risks, and encourage healthy digital habits. Together, we can ensure that our children enjoy the benefits of the internet while staying protected from potential dangers.

For further support, or if you have any concerns about your child’s online safety, please don’t hesitate to contact us.
