Online Safety

E-Safety PosterEdgbarrow wants to ensure online learning is safe, fun and engaging for the students in our community. On joining our school, students will receive a login to our system. This includes an email account, space to save documents and files, filtered access to the internet, and logins for various online resources. There are central filtering systems which block sites with inappropriate content. Email accounts are accessible to senior staff and may be monitored.  We use an industry-standard firewall to ensure our web filtering is appropriate and this is annually checked using Friendly Wifi. If you have any concerns, please contact the school.

There are risks in using any technology, unfortunately, some young people may expose themselves to danger knowingly or unknowingly. We teach students about responsible and appropriate behaviours, and how to remain safe and legal when using the internet and related technology wherever they may be.

Students sign a Student Acceptable Use Agreement, this agreement covers important e-safety topics and fosters an understanding of the key issues surrounding the use of ICT and the Internet in and out of school. These include the use of school IT systems, email and social media, privacy, data protection, use of images and more.
