E-Safety Report 2015-16
Dear Parents/Carers,
KS1.
Over 60% of pupils have access to tablets
at home with ds devices a close second. Around 25-30% have mobile phones. The
majority of pupils feel safe using the internet at home and at school. Cyberbullying
is not something many of them have encountered. Pupils enjoy playing a variety
of games online as detailed in the table below.
KS2
All but one pupils in Y3-6 access the
internet at home. Devices ranged from xbox/Playstation/wii to tablets and
laptops with tablets being the most popular. On average 32% of Y3-6 have
smartphones. A quarter of pupils in Year 5 spend 4 hours or more per day on the
internet at weekends! A lot of pupils access social networking sites such as
Facetime, Skype, Instagram, Facebook and Snapchat, and YouTube is very popular
with the majority of pupils. 45% of Year 6 pupils play games with PEGI rating
12 and over.
The majority of pupils knew who to speak to
regarding being upset by anything that happened online at school.
Internet rules and internet safety is a
very important part of parent-child communication including setting internet
rules. This does not always happen, however, and the results showed quite a
wide variation in the number of parents who discuss E-safety and set rules with
their children. 36% or less in Year 4 and one Year 3 class. Only around 20-30% of Y3-6 knew how to use
privacy and security settings on social networks and less than half knew how to
report or block content. This is
something that it is important for you as a parent to discuss with them and
support them with when they have an issue.
The Safer Internet Centre has a wealth of
resources for parents and carers to access, including easy to follow guidance
on parental controls and social network safety tools. http://www.saferinternet.org.uk/advice-and-resources/parents-and-carers
Please
just take a few minutes of your time to access this website and follow the
advice to ensure that your child stays as safe as possible online.
Below is a table of some of the games that
pupils play on the internet. The highlighted ones have a higher PEGI rating
than the child’s age. We understand that
older siblings may have games with higher PEGI ratings at home and this is
something that you need to discuss with your children when setting internet and
E-safety rules.
I hope that you find this report both
interesting and helpful.
Thank you to our E-Team for writing the
surveys and carrying them out across the school.
