Safeguarding
Online Safety
At Horsford CE VA Primary School we teach our children how to stay safe online in age-appropriate ways, starting in Reception all the way through to Year 6. The knowledge and skills that are essential for children to remain safe in an increasingly online, digital world are covered through both our Computing and PSHE Ed. curriculums.
