Friday E-Safety discussions
At Reddal Hill we look and discuss different games and apps. We discuss if games are age appropriate by identifying the PEGI and discussing the potential online concerns that they contain. The children enjoy discussing their understanding about keeping safe online.
The Friday online safety games the children are discussing about the moment are:
KS1 Among Us PEGI 7 (ON the app store 9+)
KS2 Call Of Duty Black Ops 18+
Click below to find posters to if you would like more information about these games and what ages they are age appropriate for.

Artificial Intelligence (AI)
Artificial intelligence is rapidly transforming the way we live, learn, and interact—but it also brings new dangers, particularly for children. From AI-generated harmful content to manipulative chatbots, the risks are evolving just as quickly as the technology itself. As parents, it’s crucial to stay informed and take proactive steps to protect our children from AI-related dangers while helping them use technology responsibly. This video is guidance for parents about Artificial Intelligence.
At Reddal Hill we use the Senso monitoring system. The service is used to monitor student behaviour online, allowing teachers and safeguarding leads to monitor content that is being viewed or sent by students, either intentionally or by mistake. This is an instant monitoring system and provides protection for all. What Is Senso?
Safer Internet Day 2025
Safer Internet Day took place on the 11th of February 2025, with celebrations and learning based around the theme ‘Too good to be true? Protecting yourself and others from scams online. The children in KS1 enjoyed solving the clues to identify if the information online was true or false. They also designed some posters to highlight the importance of being aware of scams and staying safe on online.
Computing Afterschool Club 2024-2025
This year different year groups have been taking part in an computing afterschool club. This year our focus has been coding using Micro:bits. The children really enjoyed developing their coding skills.
Safer Internet Day 2024
Across the whole school each class celebrated Safer Internet Day during the week beginning the 5th February in the weekly computing session. For this, we looked at staying safe online, especially when playing games. We looked at situations that were safe and some that we thought may not be and what we would do if we were in this situation. This led us to talking about our trusted adults. We also learnt that there are scams online however, we also learnt how we could report or block these.

What to do if you want to report something...
Many sites now include the 'report abuse' button. This can be used if you would like to report suspicious individuals or behaviour directly to the Child Exploitation and Online Protection Centre (CEOP). The reports are analysed, appropriate action is taken and CEOP provide feedback on reports to you.

The internet is an amazing resource which enables children and young people to connect, communicate and be creative in a number of different ways, on a number of different devices. However, the internet is ever changing and being able to keep up to date with your child's use of technology can be a challenge. You may even feel that your child has better internet skills than you do; however children and young people still need advice and protection when it comes to managing their lives online.
We have included some useful links to web sites that offer advice when dealing with
