Leigh Central Primary School
E-Safety at Leigh Central
Children at Leigh Central use the Internet on a regular basis as part of their learning. Technology enhances learning, and we at Leigh Central want to ensure pupils get the most from it, by encouraging responsible online behaviour.
In school, we use a filtering system to prevent children accessing inappropriate sites. We also have regular 'E-safety' activities with our Leigh Central E-Safety Blobs to remind children of the importance of keeping themselves safe online.
At home, sometimes children can be given unsupervised access to the Internet via mobile devices such as mobile phones, iPods, iPads and other tablet devices. This, potentially, allows them to access all kinds of society (both good and bad) and bring them virtually into their homes.
It's important to remember that the legal age to have an account on most social media - Instagram, Facebook, Youtube, Snapchat - is 13 years old.
