From the Press:

Two in five children made anxious every week when using internet, research reveals. A study carried out by UK Safer Internet Centre found that two in five school children have felt worried or anxious using the internet. In addition to this, almost half of the young people surveyed said that in the last year they had experienced some form of cyberbullying. Most importantly, 72% of young people said they wanted their school to teach them about cyberbullying and managing friendships online and one in ten pupils admitted to not receiving any online safety training in their school at all. The online world is filled with so many positive attributes that have helped us in so many ways even in its simplest form, but if not used safely, it also poses an incredible amount of risk.

Here at Ashley Junior School, we are committed to keeping your children safe. On a regular basis, many of our children use the Internet as part of their learning, therefore, I deliver regular ‘e-safety’ activities to remind children of the importance of keeping themselves safe online.
