Technology is constantly developing. Although there are many benefits to the internet and social media, it is important that we, as a school, our students and parents, know how to keep safe and how to enable privacy settings. It can be hard to keep up with new apps, websites and games and we hope the information below helps keep our students safe both on and offline.

As part of their time here a UVHS, students will be taught about social media in their Personal Development sessions, as well as in their computing lessons. At home, we would encourage you to talk with your child about trustworthy information sources and how to spot fake news and scams as well, so they can see these in both a classroom and real-world context.

We already have a dedicated section on the school website here on E-Safety, however, below is a library of quick guides put together by #WakeUpWednesday for online safety by the National College.
