Safeguarding & Digital Resilience

Technology is constantly evolving, and we recognise that children are often exposed to new digital tools and platforms before adults become familiar with them. At Newport Primary School, we believe that children’s digital knowledge should be nurtured and developed in a safe and responsible way to support their learning and wellbeing.

We provide a comprehensive programme of online safety and digital resilience education through our Computing curriculum, RHE lessons, circle time activities, and whole-school and class assemblies. Pupils learn how to use technology confidently, responsibly and safely, both in and out of school.

Children and staff receive regular updates and guidance on emerging technologies, social media platforms, apps and online risks. They are taught how to recognise unsafe situations, protect their personal information and know where to seek help if they ever feel worried or uncomfortable online.

Within school, carefully managed filtering and monitoring systems help ensure children can access online resources safely. We also recognise that home internet use may not always be supervised, so we equip pupils with the knowledge and skills needed to make safe choices independently and become responsible digital citizens.

If you have any questions or concerns about online safety, or would like support with keeping your child safe online at home, please contact Mrs Coates (Designated Safeguarding Lead) or Mrs Maxwell.
