Online Safety
At Red Oaks Primary School, keeping our children safe is our top priority – both in the classroom and online. As technology becomes a bigger part of our daily lives, it’s important that our pupils learn how to navigate the digital world safely and responsibly.
This page provides helpful information for parents, carers, and pupils about how we promote online safety at school and how you can support safe internet use at home. You’ll also find useful tips, resources, and links to trusted organisations offering guidance on everything from screen time to social media.
Together, we can help our children become confident, respectful, and safe digital citizens.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact the school in the usual way.
