Online Safety Update- October 2025

As the use of online services and resources grows, so has awareness of the risks and potential dangers which arise from the use of communications technology and the internet. Those risks are not confined to the use of computers, they may also arise through the use, for example of games consoles, mobile phones, tablets and other handheld devices.
At St Giles’ CE Primary School, we ensure that we have in place appropriate policies and statements of practice to promote the safety of our learners; both when they are in the school and when they are elsewhere. St Giles’ CE Primary School regularly delivers assemblies on keeping safe online, as well through lessons in class. The school has a duty to keep pupils safe from radicalisation and extremism.
We will not allow pupils to bring mobile phones or other devices into school unless under exceptional circumstances. In this case parents communicate with teachers and agree pupil personal devices remain in safe keeping at the school office until the end of the school day. Pupils do not have access to their personal device during school hours. St Giles’ CE Primary School ensures filters are set so if devices are sent home, school internet search filters are maintained at home.
Therefore, pupils will not have access to inappropriate searches. Searches related to inappropriate sexual content, social network access, radicalisation, terrorism and extremism. All staff have appropriate training through school and staff who may have concerns are aware of their duty to refer to the designated Safeguarding lead.
