The school will control access to social networking sites, and consider how to educate pupils in their safe use.
Newsgroups will be blocked unless a specific use is approved.
Pupils will be advised never to give out personal details of any kind which may identify them, their friends or their location.

Pupils and parents will be advised that the use of social network spaces outside school brings a range of dangers for primary aged pupils.
