Sherwood Park Primary School

During recent periods of remote learning and in our increasingly technological age, where children are accessing the internet at a young age, it is vital that parents and carers ensure that they are doing so in a safe way. In this section, you will find information and guidance as to how you can support this within the home and work with the school in order to ensure their safety and well-being.

Many of us know about the work of the 130 year old charity, NSPCC, that keep children safe by preventing abuse, help rebuild children's lives and support families.​ They have lots of advice and support around eSafety too.
