Do you know what your child is watching or accessing when they are on the internet?
We are becoming increasingly aware that some of our students are accessing unsuitable sites on the internet via iPads, tablets and mobile phones. Most tablets and phones have no browsing restrictions meaning that your child could be accessing violent films or explicit music videos without your knowledge.
Below there is guidance to show how to restrict access to the internet on iPads and iPhones. If you have another make of tablet and need support to restrict access please contact the school and our IT team will assist.
