Online Safety

We recognise that the use of new technologies presents particular challenges and risks to children both inside and outside of school.

Holywell Primary School will ensure a comprehensive curriculum response to enable all pupils/students to learn about and manage the associated risks effectively and will support parents and the school community (including all members of staff) to become aware and alert to the needs of keeping children safe online.
