Parent Information
As a school we have always been committed to the welfare of every child. We now recognise the need to evolve our digital wellbeing practices and to better support our whole school community. That is why we are delighted to tell you about our partnership with Linewize, which will see us take digital wellbeing and safety to the next level.
Supporting students to engage positively in their learning
During school hours, school managed learning devices will have ‘school-time filtering’ in place, no matter where students are using this device. This approach allows us to promote positive digital engagement with our students, supporting them to focus on learning during the school day and to avoid common digital distractions. This also enables our school to provide students with improved and personalised support for learning and wellbeing at school.
As well as these school initiatives, we are inviting you as parents to partner with us by providing you with tools and resources to help you better understand and engage with your child in their digital journey.
