E Safety Curriculum
Here at Cheetham we follow the Purple Mash computing scheme of work, which includes a carefully planned E safety curriculum, based on the government guidance, ‘Education for a Connected World’. This ensures that children are taught skills and knowledge progressively throughout their time at school. The curriculum covers 8 aspects of E safety;
Self image and identity,
Online relationships,
Online reputation,
Online bullying,
Managing online information,
Health, well-being and lifestyle,
Privacy and security,
Copyright and ownership.
