Online Safety
Online safety at Kings Worthy is integrated through our computing, PSHE, Thrive and safeguarding commitments. We intend to prepare children for a modern world where our use of technology and media is constantly changing. This is achieved through: making children aware of online media; teaching about the positives of using technology in our everyday life; equipping them with strategies to ask for help and recognising the dangers of the increased use and availability of this.
