Online Safety
E-safety resources
Mr Evans is the ICT Lead for St Mary Queen of Martyrs
We take e-safety very seriously at St Mary Queen of Martyrs and we are committed to educating both children and adults how to keep safe online.
Filtering and monitoring.
Filtering and monitoring are both important parts of safeguarding pupils and staff from potentially harmful and inappropriate online material. Filtering and monitoring systems are used to keep pupils safe when using our school’s IT system.
We use a product called Securly, which is installed across all devices to act as a filter and firewall to block access to unsafe and inappropriate content.
This enhanced level of monitoring supports us in our proactive approach to student safety.
It helps to facilitate the safest space possible for students to learn and flourish.
Here is some information for parents/carers on how to keep your child safe online:
These websites contain some very useful help guides of how you can keep your child safe at home, whilst we continue to educate them about online safety here at school.
