We live in an ever-changing, digital world with children increasingly having access to the internet. Keeping safe online is a vital part of safeguarding the pupils at Holy Cross Primary School. We actively teach children about keeping safe online through our e-safety curriculum which is planned as part of Computing and RHE. 
We follow the Purple Mash scheme for Computing which uses Childnet resource to promote e-safety.

Further information is kept in our e-safety policy.
