Children at Kingsmoor Academy use the internet on a regular basis as part of their learning, in school and at home. Computer Technology enhances learning and teaching staff at Kingsmoor Academy want to ensure pupils get the most from it, by encouraging responsible online behaviour.
In school, we use a filtering system to prevent children accessing inappropriate sites. We also remind children in every Computing lesson of the importance of keeping themselves safe online.
At home, sometimes children can be given unsupervised access to the internet. This potentially allows them to access all kinds of society, both good and bad.
