ONLINE-Safety

Here at Ryhall CE Academy we teach you how to use digital media and the internet safely.  We ask you to agree to our Acceptable Use Agreement and we will teach you how to make sure you can stick to it.  

Technology is an important part of school life. These rules are here to help keep you, your friends and your family safe.  When you sign the agreement in school you are agreeing to follow these rules when you are using the school computers, tablets, email (within Purple Mash), digital cameras and other ICT.

  • I will only use the school’s computers for schoolwork and homework.

  • I will ask for help from a teacher or other adult if I don’t know what to do or if I think that I have done something wrong.

  • I will keep any logins and passwords secret.

  • I will not bring computer files or games into school without permission.

  • I will ask permission from a teacher before using the internet and will only use websites that I am allowed to visit.

  • I will only email people I know, or that my teacher has approved.

  • I will not open an attachment, or download a file, unless I have permission or I know and trust the person who has sent it.

  • I will not post my home address, phone number, send a photograph or video, or give any other personal information about myself or my friends and family unless my teacher has given permission.

  • If I see anything that upsets me or that I do not like, I will not respond to it but I will tell a teacher or parent.

  • I will only use my own technology (e.g. mobile phone or tablet) in school when I have permission to do so.

  • I will tell a teacher if I am worried about something another pupil asks me to do.

  • I will tell a teacher if I am worried about something my friends are doing online.

You can see a copy of this agreement below.
