Online Safety
At Holy Trinity C of E Primary School, we recognise that technology plays a vital role in children’s learning and everyday lives. The internet offers exciting opportunities to learn, create and communicate, but it also presents risks if not used safely and responsibly.
We are committed to helping our pupils become confident, responsible digital citizens by teaching them how to stay safe online, both in school and at home. Online safety is embedded throughout our curriculum and reinforced through regular discussions, guidance and support for children, staff and families.
This page provides useful information, advice and resources to support parents and carers in keeping children safe online. By working together, we can ensure that all children develop the knowledge, skills and understanding they need to navigate the online world safely and positively.

In the current age of technological development, Online Safety is vital whether you are an adult or a child.
At Holy Trinity C of E Primary School, Online Safety is carefully considered and practiced by all adults, it is also delivered to the children through Computing and PSHE lessons. From Reception children are taught the basics of Online Safety, while children in Year 1 and above are taught progressive 'refresher modules' at the beginning of every half term, the aim of this is to keep the information fresh and to re-enforce the SMART rules.

Social Media Age Restrictions
Warwickshire Online Safety Hub
In today’s digital world, ensuring online safety for primary school children is essential — it helps protect them from exposure to inappropriate content, cyberbullying, and online predators, while also fostering responsible and respectful behaviour in digital spaces. Teaching children about strong passwords, recognising suspicious messages, asking for help, and understanding privacy settings empowers them to explore the internet confidently and securely.
Parents and carers can support these efforts by using trusted resources, such as the Warwickshire Online Safety Hub, which provides guidance, tools, and up-to-date information at https://warwickshire.onlinesafetyhub.uk/
