Online Safety At St Peter's

Students are taught about the use of computers for educational purposes across the curriculum. This includes the best ways to gather reliable and evidence based research, how to validate findings and how to identify and ignore anomalies.
Students are also taught about the specific use of modern technologies in risk taking behaviours through the Personal Development curriculum including the sessions focused on bullying, tolerance and respect as well as the sex and relationships sessions.
Additional online safety sessions for students usually run across the year with a range of partner agencies so that the message is specific to each year group.

Online Safety Assembly

Every year an Online Safety assembly for all year groups is led by Agnes Davies. This gives students an overview and reminds them of the risks they may face online. The assembly ties in with Safer Internet Day

Sex Assembly

This March the top three year groups have a special assembly about sex, relationships and the use of mobile phones and the internet to access pornography and to contact each other.
