At Chesterfield, we take children's online safety very seriously.

Within the school network, all our computers and email systems are monitored to ensure our children stay safe online. The Internet connection at school is filtered and protected using the most up-to-date technologies to help ensure that we provide quality access to the Internet to enhance learning.

We have an online safety policy along with acceptable use policies for staff and pupils. These are available to view via the links below.

We promote online safety throughout our curriculum in school and hold parent sessions to support online safety at home. 

To ensure we are keeping pupils safe when using their Chromebooks, we use Senso.cloud, a cloud-based online monitoring and safeguarding software. Senso effectively detects harmful and inappropriate behaviour on the Chromebooks, both in school and at home. If the software detects inappropriate internet searches or the unacceptable use of language, an email is sent to the Designated Safeguarding Lead and the Senior Leadership Team. The email notification will show the flagged word(s) and who the user is. This will then be investigated and, if appropriate, we will speak to the user involved and contact parents to inform them of the breach if required.
