E-Safety/Keeping Safe

At Baden-Powell and St. Peter's C.E. Junior School we believe that educating children about being safe on-line is essential. E-safety is an integral part of children's education in today's digital world and is embedded in their learning at school. As part of our computing curriculum, all children from Year 3 to Year 6 follow our Online Safety Scheme of Work focusing on identifying the risks about being on-line and how to keep themselves safe. In addition, we work closely with the Dorset Safer Schools and Communities Team who deliver presentations to the children about E-Safety.

Our E-Safety Champion is Mrs Fiona Kyte.
