Hello!
We are the year 5/6 digital leaders across the Equals Trust: Heymann, Abbey Road, Keyworth, Tollerton, Burton Joyce, Cropwell Bishop, Robert Miles Junior, Brookside, Flintham, Richard Bonnington, Willow Farm and Crossdale.
You can easily recognise us by the blue digital leaders badges that we wear. At least one student from each school joined together in December 2022 to discuss online safety and messages we wanted pupils in our schools to have with the Christmas holidays coming up. We were then all involved in writing articles in these issues - hopefully, making them a fun and interesting read!
We hope the issues below, aimed at Y3/4 and Y5/6, help you and your family stay safe on the internet :-)

They have told us that where the identity of a child who is using social media to bully other children can be proven, they would urge parents to pass messages onto the police and also exclude the perpetrators from school. In future, we will take the same actions at KPNS – we cannot tolerate bullying behaviour in any way, even when it takes place out of school on social media.
Please speak to your child about this matter to ensure they understand how serious it is – we do not want any pupils from KPNS involved in such behaviour either as the victims or the perpetrators.
We would urge all parents to:
