Online Safety

We take the issue of online safety very seriously and this is an important part of keeping children safe at Mere Green Primary School. We have extensive security measures in place in school, which are monitored both internally and externally, to help safeguard pupils from potential dangers or unsuitable material. This includes the use of Smoothwall and Apple.

Any e-safety incidents are recorded and managed in line with our e-safety policy. At Mere Green, online safety is taught to all pupils from reception through to year 6, ensuring that all children know how to stay safe and behave appropriately online.

As an Apple Distinguished School, and as part of the ATLP Learning Futures strategy, we provide all pupils in Key Stage 1 and 2 with a one to one iPad. The document below may help in assuring specific questions about e-safety and the iPads

If you wish to contact us regarding any Online Safety issues, please email admin@meregrn.bham.sch.uk or contact us via Class Dojo.

We believe that it is important that parents speak to their children about how they can keep safe and behave appropriately online. The information below will support you during some of those conversations to help you make informed decisions about what your child accesses online.
