E-Safety
Computers and the internet are an integral part of life in the 21st century. They are an essential resource to support learning and teaching. At Bishopstone, we prepare children to use these technologies and gain the skills to access life-long learning and employment.
E-safety is essential to create and maintain a safe online and ICT environment.
