The internet opens a whole world of exciting learning opportunities for children but it’s important to also be safe when accessing the various means of obtaining information, having fun and connecting online. At Kents Hill School, we take online safety for children (and for us all) very seriously.

For Safer Internet Day this year – 6th February 2024 – we share some helpful advice for parents and carers from http://internetmatters.org for parents and carers to support keeping children safe whilst accessing the internet.

Although all of the advice is relevant, parents and carers of children at our school many particularly like to read the Top Tips for internet use of those under 11 – Top-tips-for-under-11s.
