E-Safety
At South Grove we take e-safety very seriously. E-Safety is embedded within the school’s Computing curriculum and Schemes of Work. It is also contained within the schools PSHCE Curriculum.
E-Safety is also covered throughout the year through focused assemblies. The school takes part in the National Internet Safety Day. Regular workshops are also held for parents annually.
It is vital that the school works in partnership with parents and carers to ensure that our children are safe when having access to all forms of ICT online protection. This page is intended to promote e-safety for pupils, parents and carers.
If there are ever any concerns around e-safety please do not hesitate to contact the school.

Play Like Share
Play Like Share follows the adventures of Alfie, Ellie and Sam as they form a band and enter their school’s Battle of the Bands contest, taking on the mean but ‘cool’ Popcorn Wizards as they go. The three friends learn that while the internet can help, they need to use it wisely and safely.
The aim of the films is to help 8-10 year olds learn how to stay safe online. In particular, the films teach them to spot the early signs of manipulative, pressurising and threatening behaviour by people they might meet online, and develops their confidence to respond safely and get help.
