At Fairhaven we are committed to E-Safety.  It is an integral part of our curriculum and we actively teach children about how to stay safe online as well as the possible dangers posed.

E-Safety teaching is ongoing.  Rules for safe and responsible internet use are reinforced at the beginning of every session where ICT is used.  In addition, the topic of E-Safety is reguarly covered in assemblies.

Children are encouraged to report any concerns they may have to parents, teachers or the E-Safety Co-ordinator (Mr. Perkes).

The school network, provided and maintained by RM (Research Machines), automatically blocks and filters inappropriate sites and images, as well as all social media sites.  Any new site found to be available which is deemed inappropriate is reported to RM who take immediate action to block access.

Please go to our policies section to download and read our E-Safety and Acceptable Use Policies.
