Keeping Children Safe Online
At Thomas Ashton School, we are committed to helping students stay safe online. E-safety is embedded throughout our curriculum and daily practice, teaching young people how to use technology responsibly, recognise potential risks, and seek support when needed. We work closely with students, families, and staff to promote positive online behaviour, digital wellbeing, and safe use of social media, gaming, and communication platforms. Our safeguarding team is available to provide guidance and support with any online safety concerns.
