E-Safety

The internet is a great way to discover, create and connect with people. Issues around the safe use of the internet and cyberbullying are few and far between but they do happen, in all walks of life. The Bromfords School proactively promotes e-safety and the prevention of cyber bullying. Bullying in any form has no place at The Bromfords School.

E-safety is taught within our Personal Development / ICT Curriculum, as well as within our Tutor programme, Careers advice, assemblies and contextually across all subjects.

If you have any queries or wish to report an issue to the school, please use the ‘Contact Us’ page or alternatively contact the Head of Year for the relevant year group.

Cyberbullying.
Online reputation.

Gaming.
