At Harbury, we are all users of online technology at home and at school, and whilst we know the joy and wonder that the internet can provide, we also make sure we know how to stay safe and responsible. We have a strong focus in each Computing lesson on online safety issues, including discussing potential scenarios for all ages. Our children are able to confidently talk about current online safety issues and are encouraged to monitor and report any problems. All of this is facilitated with good communication with home, as we know how important it is for parents and carers to be ‘switched on’ with their children’s online safety.

Online safety through theatre
Year 5 and 6 pupils had the privilege to watch the Loudmouth theatre company. The actors presented some relevant and sensitive subject matters in an interesting and emotive way, followed by some group workshops. An excellent way to address online safety and wider safety issues with the children.
Bi-Monthly Online Safety Newsletters
Please see our excellent bi-monthly newsletters below. These are sent out to all our families. We also hold regular online safety parental information sessions through Knowlsey.
Here is some recent feedback from one of our parents regarding the Parental Information Session in January 2024.
It's never easy to know how to keep our children safe when they aren't with us, and sometimes even when are, if we don't know what's happening in their lives or on their devices! Who are they talking to, what are they doing, are they okay? Don't despair though...go to this website for help and click on the links particular topics like safe settings, sexual harrassment, artifiical intelligence and more.
