We believe the internet is fantastic resource for learning and great fun to explore, however it does present a very new set of risks for children. We place a very high priority on teaching children about e-safety and regularly share information with parents through a variety of means. It is almost impossible in today’s world to identify every single risk, as it changes all the time. Through the resources below and the links provided we hope to provide a useful source of information to help support parents in keeping their children safe.
You will find our On-line Safety policy here: On-Line Safety Policy

Increasingly we use mobile devices to access the internet: mobile phones, tablet PC’s, ipods, kindles – the list is ever increasing. This presents new risks with regard to children using devices at night and privately in bedrooms. Please have a look at these resources which provide information about the risks presented by mobile internet use:

is designed to provide information on e-safety. It has sections for children of all ages to explore and learn about e-safety. As well as a wealth of information for parents. |

is a website designed to teach children how to keep safe on the internet. It is fun and interactive, and worth a look for parents too! |
There are many social media sites which are designed for adults and teenagers, such as Facebook which are really not suited to children who are younger. We would strongly urge all parents and carers to ensure that all children at Patcham Junior School are not accessing social media sites that are designed for older children or adults.
The National Online Safety team have created a very useful guide about Fortnite: Battle Royale.
The guide informs parents about the dangers associated with the viral game and how they can reduce the associated risks, including, but not limited to; restriction of payment methods, preventing children talking to strangers, making a report, avoiding scams and using strong passwords.
Please see the attached e-safety documents for more information.
