Responsible Internet Use. Any failure to follow the rules listed below is a violation of the school’s Technology Acceptable Use Policy:
Responsible Internet Use. As part of your child’s curriculum and the development of ICT skills, St. Mark’s C.E. Junior School is providing supervised access to the Internet. We believe that the effective use of the World Wide Web and e-mail is worthwhile and is an essential skill for children as they grow up in the modern world. Although there are concerns about pupils having access to undesirable materials, we have taken positive steps to reduce this risk in school. Our school Internet provider operates a filtering system that restricts access to inappropriate materials. This may not be the case at home and we can provide references to information on safe Internet access if you wish. Whilst every endeavour is made to ensure that suitable restrictions are placed on the ability of children to access inappropriate materials, the School cannot be held responsible for the nature or content of materials accessed through the Internet. The School will not be liable for any damages arising from your child’s use of the Internet facilities. Responsible use at St Mark’s includes: ▪ accessing the internet only with permission, which will usually be supervised by adults ▪ using the computer system and Internet in a responsible way and obey these rules at all times ▪ accessing websites approved by teachers and not deliberately subverting this to seek unacceptable material ▪ reporting any unpleasant or unsuitable material immediately to teachers ▪ understanding that school may check files and monitor internet sites visited ▪ understanding that the school will take all reasonable precautions to ensure pupils cannot access inappropriate materials ▪ understanding that the school cannot be held responsible for the nature or content of materials accessed through the Internet ▪ agreeing that the school is not liable for any damages arising from use of the Internet facilities.
Responsible Internet Use. As part of your child’s curriculum and the development of computing skills, Partners in Learning Academy Trust provides supervised access to the Internet.

Please would you read the attached Rules for Responsible Internet Use, and sign and return the consent form so that your child may use Internet at school.
Responsible Internet Use. We use computers and the Internet connection for learning. This code of conduct will help us to be fair to others and keep everyone safe. I will only use ICT in school for school purposes. I will not bring memory sticks into school without permission. I will make sure that all ICT contacts with other children and adults are responsible. I will only e-mail or text other people, as part of the curriculum that I know that my teacher has approved. I will not deliberately look for, save or send anything that could be unpleasant or nasty. If I accidentally find anything like this I will turn off the monitor and tell my teacher immediately. I will not give out my own details such as name, address or phone number, share a picture, or arrange to meet someone when using the internet. I will ask for permission before opening an e-mail or an e-mail attachment sent by someone I do not know. I will not use Internet chat. I will be responsible for my behaviour when using ICT because I know that these rules are to keep me safe. I know that my use of ICT can be checked and that my parent/carer contacted if a member of school staff is concerned about my e-safety. Involve everyone and agree your family guidelines and rules about internet use at home. Regularly discuss online safety and go on line with your children. Keep virus and firewall software up to date. Enable your ‘browser safe’ search option and/or consider using internet filtering software, walled gardens and child friendly search engines. Keep the computer in a communal area of the house where it is easy to monitor what your children are viewing. Talk to your children about why they should not give out their personal details. If they want to subscribe to any online service then make up a family email address to receive mail. We all love to chat and children are no different. Encourage your children to use moderated chat rooms and never meet up with any on line ‘friend’ without first telling you. Time spent online should be monitored to help prevent obsessive use of the internet. Encourage your children, and all family members, to tell you if they feel uncomfortable, upset or threatened by anything they see online Have proportionate responses if the family guidelines are not followed We expect all parents to: ensure children are prepared for school, wear our school uniform, attend school every day on time; read the curriculum newsletters and the head teacher’s newsletter, together with other forms of communication ...
Responsible Internet Use. We use the school computers and Internet connection for learning. These rules will help keep everyone safe.
