E-safety
Navigating the digital world can feel fast-paced and ever-changing, but at Medina Primary School, keeping our children safe online is a top priority.
Technology plays a fantastic role in learning, creativity, and play, but we know how challenging it can be for parents and carers to manage screen time, app settings, and online safety at home. To support our school family, we have gathered a list of trusted resources, guides, and practical tools to help you stay up to date and feel confident navigating digital safety together.
