Online Safety
Chapel Allerton Primary School has a duty to provide pupils with quality, safe internet access as part of their learning journey.

Parental permission must be given for children to bring their mobile phone into school. Children must not bring a phone into school without your permission and MUST follow the guidance below:
Mobile phones should be brought only if needed for emergencies/travel to and from school, and are done so at the parent's own risk. All phones must then be handed to the Class Teacher immediately upon entering the classroom. Mobiles need to be switched off at all times when on school grounds. Children will need to collect their mobile from their Class Teacher at the end of the school day.
Any violations of this will result in children having to take their phone directly to main reception. Repeated problems will result in a ban.
Mobiles are brought onto site at your own risk, any damage to mobile phones is not the responsibility of the school.

Many of us see our online lives and offline lives as different.
But for children growing up with technology and the internet, there isn’t a difference – online life and offline life is just life.
Technology can move at an extraordinarily fast pace. So it can be difficult to know how to start talking to your child about what they’re doing online, who they might be speaking to or discussing the potential risks and issues.
Talking regularly with your child can help keep them safe online. Making it part of daily conversation, like you would about their day at school, will help your child feel relaxed.
It also means when they do have any worries, they’re more likely to come and speak to you.
It is important to have regular conversations about staying safe online and to encourage children to speak to you if they come across something worrying online.
These resources will support you to talk to your child about a range of online safety issues, set up home filtering in a child-friendly way and set up age-appropriate parental controls on digital devices:
