Online safety
All learners are taught about e-safety through IT lessons and during PSHCE.
Learners at BMGS are regularly taught about safety online. We monitor all student devices closely and take appropriate action to ensure that learners are aware of how to keep themselves safe online.
We have a team of Digital leaders who are available at break time to support learners. They are fully trained through the Childnet Digital Leaders Programme. The training empowers our Digital Leaders to educate their peers, parents, and teachers about staying safe online. Throughout the programme, Digital Leaders are given the tools they need to champion digital citizenship in the school, helping them and their peers to make the most of their time online. They put their learning into action by working together to take the lead in delivering impactful online safety activities within school.
At BMGS, student welfare is our priority. Our Online-Safety concerns box also allows learners to anonymously post their E-Safety concerns/ worries so they can then be supported by Mrs A Mogra.
If you would like to know more about E safety or require additional support with your child's online activities please contact Mrs A Mogra, our Online Safety lead.
