Delivering the Online Safety Curriculum at Walsgrave Academy:

Our Online Safety Curriculum provides children with progressive learning opportunities designed to develop their knowledge and skills to keep themselves safe when engaging with the digital world. A bespoke, self- designed online safety curriculum is taught from Nursery to Year 6 through half termly online safety lessons. Six core aspects are covered across each year:

• Half termly lessons are supplemented by an assembly and a home learning leaflet
• Links are made to National Online Safety Events, including Anti- Bullying Week and Safer Internet Day
• Planning for all aspects is informed by National Online Safety- ‘Online Safety Lesson Plans’.
• Across the curriculum. Learning activities involving use of online materials provide opportunities to reinforce and apply knowledge from the ‘Online Safety Curriculum, including permissions, online information and safe internet use.
