ICT &

E-SAFETY

E-Safety Agreement

ICT, including the internet, learning platforms, email and a range of mobile technologies, has become an
important part of learning in our school. We expect all students to be safe and responsible when using any ICT.

It is essential that students are aware of e-Safety and know how to stay safe when using any ICT resources
either at school or at home. All resources are provided for the sole purpose of supporting learning and any other
use is inappropriate.

In the next section is the Acceptable Use Policy, which all students will sign in September. In using any of the
school’s ICT resources - on- or off-site – all students agree to these terms. Any concerns or explanation can be
discussed with their form tutor, any member of the ICT staff, or with the Deputy Headteacher responsible for e-
Safety.
