Safeguarding Notice

Locking Primary School is now closed. We remain open between 8am-6pm, Monday-Friday, for children who are identified as vulnerable and children whose parents are critical to the COVID-19 response, as defined in government documentation.

Following a rise in COVID-19 cases in Weston-super-Mare and the precautionary closure of local A&E provision, Trustees have decided to delay the wider reopening of ELAN schools to children in Preschool, YR, Y1 and Y6 by one week.

This will be reviewed by trustees on 4th June. Confirmation of specific year group opening dates, times and procedures will be conveyed to parents and carers following this review

Online Safety

Our Online Safety Lead is Mr. Ben Langford

 

What is Online Safety? Online Safety refers to child protection and safeguarding of both children and adults in the digital world.  It is about learning to understand and use technologies in a safe, positive way, also about supporting children and adults to develop safe online behaviours (both in and out of school). The Internet is part of children’s lives these days. It offers lots of educational opportunities, helps them keep in touch with friends and family and opens up a world of information and experiences. Whether on a computer at school, a laptop at home, a tablet, a games console or mobile phone, children are increasingly accessing the Internet in a variety of ways.

So far this year we have:

 

  • The police have come into school to speak to parents at the welcome to KS2 night.
  • Every year group has had Online Safety lessons.
  • Updated Online Safety Policy.
  • Positively increased our Social Media presence and use this as a forum to pass information and training to parents/carers.
  • Started an Online Safety Council.
  • Had PCSOs in to speak to the KS2 children.
  • KS1 have had an Online Safety assembly.
  • At parents evening statistics were present for all parents/carers.

There is a lot of good advice on keeping safe on the Internet.
