Internet User Statement - Child

 


At Our Lady and Saint Peter RC Primary School we believe that ICT and the Internet are very positive and powerful learning tools. ICT can make ideas clearer, it can make learning quicker, it can be fun, creative and be enjoyed either when working independently or with others

New technologies have become integral to the lives of children and young people in today’s society, both within schools and in their lives outside school. The internet and other digital information and communications technologies are powerful tools, which open up new opportunities for everyone. These technologies can stimulate discussion, promote creativity and stimulate awareness of context to promote effective learning. Young people should have an entitlement to safe internet access at all times.

 

This Acceptable Use Policy is intended to ensure:


  • That young people will be responsible users and stay safe while using the internet and other communications technologies for educational, personal and recreational use.

  • That school ICT systems and users are protected from accidental or deliberate misuse that could put the security of the systems and users at risk

 

The school will try to ensure that pupils will have good access to ICT to enhance their learning and will, in return, expect the pupils to agree to be responsible users.

The schools ICT equipment includes, computers, digital cameras, video cameras, a range of software and the Learning Platform.
