Links for Children

Here are links to websites that your teachers have shown you. Remember to be SMART:

  1. Be SAFE and only look at sites you're meant to see

  2. NEVER MEET someone who you chat to on the Internet

  3. Be careful of opening ATTACHMENTS: they might have a virus or spyware!

  4. Is the information you're looking at RELIABLE and trustworthy?

  5. Always use the Internet responsibly and TELL an adult who you trust if you see anything that upsets you

 

These are some of the many sites available to children. We cannot guarantee that the content remains
appropriate to view but at the time of checking (Jan 09) all content was in accordance with the school’s Acceptable Use Policy (AUP). Websites will be regularly reviewed and appropriate action taken if necessary.
