Online Safety

At St Michael’s Prep School, the importance of Online Safety is endorsed by every member of staff. 

Children are increasingly likely to be living a large proportion of their lives in a digital world and therefore need the tools and understanding to navigate this world safely and positively.

Online safety is covered in both Computing and PSHE lessons, but vitally, every teacher in every subject has the resources available to address online safety issues within each year group. This includes a wide variety of issues, including the importance of privacy, developing an online reputation, recognising online bullying and the importance of screen-free time for improved mental health.
