Online and E-Safety: 

 

Our full Online-safety and E-safety Policy can be found here and it's appendices here.

Online and e-safety, including cyber-bulling, are a full part of Stalmine's curriculum, to ensure our pupils know how to stay safe online and how to report any concerns or worries about their online safety. 

For our Zoom home/school agreement for accessing live learning sessions please see our remote learning page here.

 

It is vital that when using the links provided by school, pupils are supervised by an adult. Every effort has been made by all Stalmine Staff to ensure that all links are appropriate and suitable for pupils use. We would encourage you to set age-appropriate parental controls on digital devices and use internet filters to block malicious websites. These are usually free, but often need to be turned on.
