St Patrick's Catholic Primary Academy

Tomorrow is Safer Internet Day.  

In school, we always focus on how important it is for our children to know how to use the internet safely, and what to do if they are worried about something they have seen online. 

Our website has a dedicated area to online safety, which you can find here:

Online Safety Page - St Patrick's Website

Kirklees Education Safeguarding incorporating Attendance and Pupil Support have created a video - Kids educating kids - which they hope will be shared on the 9th Feb with the 750 primary schools we have across WY. The children involved will be delivering online safety messages in line with SID’21 theme.  Please feel free to watch this at home with your children.  

A presentation will also be delivered by one of their PCSO- Cyber officers. PCSO Luke Carson is part of a ring fenced team, educating kids, teachers and parents around online safety messages. The presentation will be delivered at 10.30am on the 9th Feb and all of the 750 primary schools across WY will be invited to join.

Here is a link to join an online presentation being delivered by a PCSO, which will be aimed at Primary aged school children, to educate them around online safety messages, in-line with SID’21.

Parents/carers then also have the chance to take part in a Facebook Live at 1pm for 30 mins, where three officers who have been trained by the NSPCC to deliver these types of messages from SID to parents/carers, will be on hand for a Q&A session as well as delivering some messages in line with the current SID’21 theme - https://www.facebook.com/westyorkshirepolice.

We hope you are able to access these resources, as we continue to work together to ensure our children are safe online.

Kind Regards

Miss Smith
