We take online safety (previously referred to as e-safety) very seriously at Branston Community Academy.
We have a rolling program throughout the year to support this topic:
- We are working with National Online Safety to deliver interactive online workshops for all our parents and carers, governors and teachers (please refer to our email).
- The Computing department at Branston delivers online-safety lessons throughout all Key Stages.
- Parents/carers that attend our Y7 Welfare Evening and our Y11 Information Evening are given presentations containing online safety advice.
- All staff receive online safety training and are familiar with the Branston Community Academy Safeguarding policy which contains the online safety policy.
- All staff and students sign and agree to abide by an ICT Acceptable use Policy.
Please contact our Designated Senior Person for advice regarding online-safety using our Contact Us page.
