Online Safety

Our Online Safety teaching is delivered through the platform Natterhub. Using this platform, we deliver a number of age-related lessons to each class, every term.  

Children can also use this platform as a safe and moderated area to meet with friends (only friends from within Maidwell PS) and thus practise how to use social media safely.

In addition to the teaching elements, there are a wealth of resources for home and parents provided on Natterhub.

 

Please see our Policies area for our Online Safety Policy.

There are numerous resources available on the internet, from different suppliers and whilst we can't endorse any directly, here are a selection we have active knowledge of and often use in school or are recognised as highly valuable:
