Online Safety
The school recognises that in today’s world, children need to be safeguarded from potentially harmful and inappropriate online material with many children having unlimited and unrestricted access to the internet via mobile phones and tablet devices. Kingsbury Academy understands that the risks can take place at school or elsewhere.
