online safety
Safeguarding is a thread which runs through everything we do at Porters Grange. Our first priority is always ensuring the safety of our children; this includes in their online lives. As such, we prioritise online safety and ensure that our children have the tools necessary to navigate their online lives, now and into the future.
Computing Lessons
We follow the Teach Computing scheme of work from the National Centre for Computing Education which is a DFE consortium of organisations who have come together to develop a curriculum with the goal of providing world leading computing education for every school in England. A major part of their curriculum is online safety.
From the first term in Year 1, our children learn how to use a computer responsibly and to understand the rules around using technology and how they help keep us safe. This progresses up to Year 6 when the children learn about sharing information online and the nature of digital footprints.
PSHE

The 2 Johns
Every year we are lucky enough to be visited by the 2 Johns in order to receive expert, up to date advice about online safety. These sessions are provided to all children in KS1 and KS2 through engaging assemblies and workshops through which they explore age appropriate dangers and strategies for the children to keep themselves safe.
As brilliant as these sessions are, we appreciate that keeping children safe is a collaborative effort between the children, the parents and the school. As a result, the 2 Johns also conduct annual parental sessions and staff training. Through this comprehensive approach, we are able to ensure that no stone is left unturned when it comes to online safety training.
In addition to their superb talk which we host in school, they also provide useful information via their website which can be found at ESafety Training
