Online Safety
Advice to Parents
The internet is a fantastic place overflowing with knowledge, games and communities of people, and, just like pupils across the country, the pupils here at Maun Infants enjoy time using the internet within our school and at home.
We value computing within our school and encourage our children to experience different ways of accessing modern technology. From BeeBots to iPads, our children are able to access a range of resources and explore different technologies to suit their learning styles.
It is important that pupils learn how to be safe when browsing online and becoming members of online communities. The eSafety of our children is of paramount importance to the school and something that we monitor and revisit regularly. We also work closely with Nottinghamshire County Council to ensure that we are up to date with current advice and practice. Our Online Safety Policy explains how we do this and is available for you to download on our policies page.
We know that parents and carers will also be very concerned that their children are protected and safe when using the internet, both in our school and at home. Please take a look at the E-Safety Links below, for further useful information from external organisations.
