Esaftey is a large strand of the SMSC provision for ICT and is again taught freely as the learning discussion necessitates.

This covers the issues of Impersonation, cyberbullying, sexting, and good practice to keep your devices virus free.

To promote Pupils’ spiritual development, their sense of self and their will to achieve, the ICT department continually takes the opportunity to praise students for their contribution in lessons.  A praise card is sent home to parents.
