E-Safety
|
Our computing vision at Whitby Heath Primary School is to keep our pupils safe online. We provide them with the knowledge and skills to do so, promoting safe messages throughout the curriculum. As computing is an increasing part of life today, it is essential that all pupils gain the confidence and ability that they need in this subject, to prepare them for the challenge of a rapidly developing and changing technological world whilst having high aspirations. We aim to do this by encouraging our pupils to become autonomous, independent users of computing technologies. Not only do we encourage digital literacy, we also want to develop our pupil’s creativity, resilience, problem solving and critical thinking skills. The use of ICT will enhance and extend children’s learning across the whole curriculum. We aim to expose children to the educational developments in computing and provide them with the opportunities to access the most effective and emerging technologies. This will allow our pupils to embrace and utilise new technologies in a socially responsible and safe way. E-Safety Awareness DayStart: 17th Oct 2022 9:00am At Whitby Heath Primary School we are having an E-Safety Awareness day. |
