This website is about how to stay safe when using the internet and other forms of electronic communication. It is designed for parents and young people themselves. We hope it gives useful advice and information.

The  Parents Fact Sheet and the  Top Ten Tips give further advice and guidance.

All pupils and parents / carers must read and sign the  Acceptable Use Policy in order to be granted access to school ICT systems. 

The school's e-safety charter can be viewed here.

The video below shows a recent assembly to Friary pupils by Staffordshire Police covering some key E-Safety issues.
