Online Safety

Online safety is an important part of keeping children safe at Our Lady's Primary School. We have an online safety team called the On Line Protection Squad which contains representatives from Years 4, 5 and 6 within our school in order to help safeguard pupils from potential dangers or unsuitable material online.

Meet our team:

Mrs. Wilkinson is our online safety lead and leads our weekly group meetings. If you have any concerns about anything you see or hear on the internet, your mobile phone or tablet, please report these.

The On Line Protection Squad has recently sent letters of invitation to adults to join the Adult safety team. Very soon we will publish the names of the adults on the team.

Both the pupils and adult online safety teams will work closely in promoting safety online in our school and the wider community.

Watch out for the On Line Protection Squad’s (OLPS) weekly entry in our school newsletter for safety tips.
