At Greasby Junior School, we are committed to ensuring that all pupils become safe, responsible and confident users of technology.
Our carefully planned, age-appropriate e-safety curriculum helps children understand both the opportunities and the risks of the digital world. Alongside regular lessons, we address relevant issues as they arise and provide up-to-date guidance to support pupils and families. By working together with parents, we aim to promote safe, respectful and informed use of technology both in and out of school.
