💻🔒Safer Internet Day 2026
Fri 13 Feb 2026This week we marked Safer Internet Day, the UK’s largest national event dedicated to promoting online safety. Each year, the day highlights an important digital issue, and this year’s theme is ‘Smart tech, safe choices – Exploring the safe and responsible use of AI.’
Children in both KS1 and KS2 took part in a special assembly exploring how technology, particularly AI, can be used positively and responsibly. Throughout the week, computing lessons built on this learning, helping children to develop safe, thoughtful and responsible behaviours online. By encouraging smart choices and open conversations, we are supporting our children to become confident and informed digital citizens. 🌐
