How to Report Online Content
Acceptable Use Policies
We ask all children, young people and adults involved in the life of St Luke’s Primary School to sign an Acceptable Use Policy (AUP) to outline how we expect them to behave when they are online, and/or using school networks, connections, internet connectivity and devices, cloud platforms and social media (both when on school site and outside of school).
Your child has also signed an AUP which outlines appropriate behaviour online – there are copies of these AUPs below. There is also a copy of a PARENT / CARER AUP – as it is important that this positive behaviour is also modelled at home by adults.
We tell your children that they should not behave any differently when they are out of school or using their own device or home network. What we tell pupils about behaviour and respect applies to all members of the school community, whether they are at home or school:
“Treat yourself and others with respect at all times; treat people in the same way when you are online or on a device as you would face to face.”
Please see Mr Skywalker if you have any questions about our AUPs.

Current Issues
KS2 pupils at St Luke’s recently took part in an online safety survey which helped us to identify the things that children are worrying about. Here are the results.
As you can see, Online Bullying, Hate Content and Too Much time being spent online are currently some of the top issues worrying our pupils.
How we plan to address this:
-
High quality E-Learning and Online Safety lessons delivered across the school
-
Weekly ‘digital discussions’ linked to key issues shared on Teams to all pupils
-
News, updates and useful links shared on social media to parents, carers and families
-
‘Digital Worry Box’ for pupils to report their concerns to staff
-
‘Digital Concerns’ form for parents / carers shared on weekly newsletters so that adults have a direct reporting route
-
Reporting routes made clear on website to allow adults to make sensible decisions when faces with an issue
Parental Controls
Parental controls are the names for a group of settings that put you in control of what content your child can see. Combined with privacy settings these can help you protect your children from the things they shouldn’t see or experience online.
www.internetmatters.org has a number of step by step guides that will help you to set up the right controls and privacy settings on the networks, gadgets, apps, and sites that your children use to give them a safer online experience. Click on the button below to access the website.
