Online Safety

At Cranford, children and staff are taught to use ICT safely. They participate in Online Safety Days and learn how to stay safe and use social media sensibly. Outside agencies come into school to share the latest learning with the children and parent workshops are offered regularly to ensure children and adults are aware of the latest developments.
