During the current school closures it is important to stay safe online. As schools are closed pupils will be spending even more time online and therefore the online safety alliance is working to ensure that time spent online is safe. There is a course that has been adapted for KS3, 4 and 5. You can get a certificate for completing the course and can be accessed on go4schools as part of the PSHE work that has been set for all pupils.
