Keeping children safe online is an important aspect of our safeguarding at Shakespeare.
It is essential that we work with you as their family to support our pupils into becoming confident and safe users of the online world.
The school's vision for Online Safety is to provide a diverse, balanced and relevant approach to the use of technology. Our pupils will be encouraged to maximise the benefits and opportunities that technology has to offer by following the guidelines in the Lancashire Primary Online Safety framework. We will ensure that children will learn in a safe and secure environment so that they can learn effectively. Our aim is that pupils will be equipped with the skills and knowledge to use 21st Century technology appropriately and responsibly. Pupils will be taught how to recognise the risks associated with this technology and how to deal with them, both inside and outside the school environment.
If you have any concerns about an Online Safety issue please contact either:
Mr Stephen Twist, Headteacher
Mr Richard Howarth, IT Co-ordinator
Mr Elliot Mather, Family Support Manager
Please see our Online Safety policy for further information, you can find this in Key Information - Policies - Ethos Policies.

Wake Up Wednesday
The #WakeUpWednesday campaign is viewed as one of the most trusted and reputable learning resources in the UK, providing expert advice on the latest platforms and online risks that parents and carers need to know about through a beautifully engaging and content rich design. A brand new guide is released every Wednesday and is posted on the school Facebook page each week.
Below are a couple of the guides we have found really useful but you can find them all on our Facebook page or on the National Online Safety website.
