E-Safety
Children and young people today are using the immense power of digital media to explore, connect, create, and learn in ways never before imagined. With this power, young people have extraordinary opportunities, and yet they face many potential pitfalls.
At The Topsham School we seek to ensure children are both safeguarded and educated about the potential risks associated with online activity.
Within our policy section you will find our policies on e-safety and acceptable use. Our curriculum section provides an outline of our programme of teaching to ensure children develop into digitally literate and safe users of a variety of media and platforms.
Information and advice for parents can be found within the CEOP website:
