At Grainville students cover online learning. They look at topics such as using the internet and sharing information about themselves. We consider the issues that can arise and how to deal with them. Students also cover topics and are given information about agencies and their websites, where they can go to find out more or get.
Through our IT and PSHE lessons our students are taught how to be safe online. This includes learning about:
- Online safety and what that means
- What to do if someone does/says something you do not like online
- Grooming
- Sexting
- How to report something using the report abuse button
