Be aware – Filtering and Logging!!!

Filtering Update

Filtering Safeguards our Pupils and Staff from the unwanted areas of the internet.

Any suspicious access is reported back to school or the police.

How does this work? Generally URL Filtering..... However...

Google are adding a virtual spanner in the works that in Jan 2015 they will move all of their traffic

to SSL (HTTPS).
