At all times, I will think before I click (especially when deleting or printing).
When using the internet, I will think about the websites I am accessing.
If I find a website or image that is inappropriate, I will turn off the monitor and I will tell my teacher straight away.
When using information or pictures from websites, I will try and say which website it came from and if possible link back to the site.
I know that the internet is provided for pupils to find information, practice skills and communicate with others. It is not for online gaming outside of lessons.
Internet access is a privilege, not a right and that access requires responsibility. Unauthorised use of the Internet or use of unauthorised websites will not be tolerated. Individual users of the Internet are responsible for their behaviour and communications over the network.
When communicating online (in blogs, email etc.) I will think about the words that I use and will not use words that may offend other people.
Pupils should not expect that files stored on school servers or disks will always be private. When communicating online, I will only use my first name and not share personal details such as my email address or phone number.
The school has its own system for filtering individual websites. Any member of the school community can bring a website which causes them concern to the attention of the Computing Coordinator who can arrange for that site to be blocked in school.
I understand that people online might not be who they say they are.
I will not look at other people’s files or documents without their permission.
I will not logon using another person’s account (with or without their permission.)
I will think before deleting files and I will ask a teacher before printing any document.
I know that the teachers can, and will, check the files and websites I have used and visited. I know that, when G Suite for Education, teachers can and will check the emails that I send and receive. I will take care when using the computers and other school equipment.
I will keep my usernames and passwords secure, but I understand I can share them with appropriate people, such as my parents or teachers but NOT other pupils.
I will not install any software or hardware (including memory sticks) without permission from a teacher.
