Online Safety at Field End Junior School
Children’s online safety at school and at home is very important to us and we do all we can to ensure children are:
- Educated to understand how to keep safe online
- Understand how to make good use of technology at an age-appropriate level
- Are developing the digital skills to become confident global citizens
Advice for Parents
The world of social media, online platforms, games and apps has become increasingly complex for young people and their parents and carers.
We regularly send out advice and signposting to help you support your child.
Below are some of the guidance posters that have been sent out recently:
The following websites are very useful if you want more information or are worried about your child’s use of social media and technology:
The NSPCC have an online safety quiz you can do with your child to start the conversation here:

If you’re stuck, not sure what to do, or if you’re worried about your child, you can also contact their trained helpline counsellors on 0808 800 5000.
We are pleased to be able to offer our drop-in coffee mornings for parents and carers run by a variety of outside agencies, including our local Metropolitan police team who advise on digital safety for children.
