The internet is a fantastic resource, but it can also bring risks. At Parkstone we take the issue of Internet Safety very seriously and on these pages you will find information that will provide further support for you at home.
In school, through PSHE lessons and the Key Stage 3 Computing curriculum, we work with our pupils to help them understand the dangers and learn how to keep themselves safe online. All pupils are asked to sign a copy of our network usage agreement on how they will use the Internet in school. You can view a copy of this in your child’s student planner. There are also a number of other organisations which promote internet safety.
