Today’s pupils are growing up in an increasingly complex world, living their lives seamlessly on and offline. This presents many positive and exciting opportunities, but also challenges and risks. DFE 2023

We at Byker Primary School endeavour to equip our pupils with the knowledge needed to make the best use of the internet and technology in a safe, considered and respectful way, so they are able to reap the benefits of the online world.

Through the curriculum children receive regular lessons on keeping themselves safe online and recognising risks. Staff receive regular training on online safety, enabling us to recognise risk and to mitigate these.

We actively support parents in ensuring they have the correct safeguards in place to protect their children from inappropriate material online. If this is something you would like further support around, please let us know. We hold online safety workshops for parents and have a number of guides which you may find helpful.
