Keeping Safe Online

Online safety is an integral part of children’s education in today’s digital world. It is embedded in our pupils' learning here at Bishop Ian Ramsey. We also want to help our parents and pupils improve their own understanding of online safety issues so they can learn to use the internet and all digital media in a safe and secure way.
