Lowton Junior & Infant School

Stay Safe

 

At Lowton J and I we encourage our children to always be SMART when online by following these simple rules . . .

 

 

The internet plays a huge part of children's lives. Whilst it opens many opportunities, it is also essential to protect your child from harm, and ensure they continue to be safe. Online safety is an increasingly important part of children learning to keep themselves safe.  Your child needs to understand the  potential risks by learning how to use computers, laptops, tablets and most importantly the internet in a safe manner. Whilst our curriculum offers opportunity to raise and tackle potential dangers, below is a series of links to websites which you can use with your child to promote their continued safety.
