Safeguarding is everyone’s responsibility |

Online Safety Curriculum Common Sense Education Richmond Hill has a discrete Online Safety Curriculum which outlines the clear steps in progression of skills, knowledge and understanding throughout school. Teachers deliver Online Safety sessions during each half term. Our curriculum is live with updates added as appropriate in response to pupil voice, emerging technologies and the needs of our pupils. |

Computing Curriculum
Our Computing Curriculum also makes close links with Online Safety. Teachers are encouraged, wherever possible, to ensure these links are discussed.
Teachers are also encouraged to make these links when, using technology themselves. For example, Whilst saving a document, the teacher may discuss morals of editing other’s work. |

Parental Support #WakeupWednesday We aim to support parents in developing their knowledge of how to support their children being safe online. We utilise the information and guidance leaflets produced by the National College.

E-Safety
At Richmond Hill Primary Academy, we ensure that the safety of our children is everyone’s top priority. With the ever-expanding access to the internet and the potential risks that this can pose, e-safety is taught as an essential part of our safeguarding curriculum. We enable children to acquire the knowledge and skills needed to be able to use the internet accordingly, but with minimal risk, whilst ensuring they have the necessary skills to be able to identify when they could be in potential danger and what to do about this.
Our curriculum intent for online safety aims to ensure that all pupils are responsible, users of information and communication .
Running alongside a progressive curriculum that teaches children how to keep themselves safe from potential threats of other internet users, we deliver sessions that include messages that link to the Prevent Strategy. Potential risks associated with being radicalised whilst accessing the internet are covered within this scheme of work, ensuring that every e-safety aspect is delivered to our pupils.
The scheme of work that we deliver on a rolling programme is Common Sense Education. Common Sense Education links to the Computing curriculum, PSHE curriculum, RSE and Health Education as well as the UKCISS framework, ensuring that our pupils have the most relevant lessons delivered to them.
This scheme of work is delivered from Reception through to Year 6, through a progressive approach whereby age appropriate, specific themes are delivered to the children which are developed throughout each year group.
The themes, taken from the UKCCIS framework, that are developed throughout Reception to Year 6 are;
- Self-Image & Identity
- Online Relationships
- Online Reputation
- Online Bullying
- Managing Online Information
- Health, Wellbeing and Lifestyle
- Privacy & Security
- Copyright & Ownership
